Petition To Label GMO Food Started By U.S. Senator

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Whether it’s corn on the cob, big juicy tomatoes, or a pint of raspberries, summer is a great time to eat whatever’s fresh off the farm—nature’s bounty at its finest. Senator Jeff Merkley has started a petition to help pass a law to identify genetically modified organisms (GMO) sold as food.

But these days, it seems that food is a bit more complicated. Additives, preservatives, artificial flavorings—not to mention genetically engineered food. Maybe you want to eat 100% organic. Maybe you don’t mind some artificial something-or-other.

But there’s one thing I think we can all agree on: You should have the right to know and choose what’s in your food. 

Senator Jeff Merkley

The big multinational food, chemical, and pesticide companies—like Monsanto, DuPont, and Dow—would rather keep you in the dark.

That doesn’t work for me, and it’s why I am supporting the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act. 

Tell your Senators that you deserve the right to know what’s in your food. 

The petition to the United States Senate says:

Whether you’re a 100% organic shopper or a fast-food junkie, every single one of us should have the right to know whether the food we’re eating has been genetically engineered. We call on the U.S. Senate to support the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act and pass it without delay.

      As it stands, if it doesn’t say it’s not GMO you can pretty much take it that it is.

      Personally think traditional produce should be labeled as non GMO. Because you can’t rely on the GMO producers to label themselves out of a sale. Nobody in their right minds would deliberately eat it.

        Same as organic farmers have had to labeled their produce as organic, to distinguish it from the lack of labeling from factory farmed produce that uses chemicals and other toxic substances.
