Do you know whats in your food? I was surprised to learn that the United States is one of the few developed nations not to require the labeling of genetically engineered foods. Even China and Russia label them! Dont you think we have a right to know whats in our food? We have no time to lose. The FDA is preparing to approve genetically engineered salmon, which would be the first genetically engineered animal on supermarket shelves in the United States. The salmon is engineered to produce growth hormones year-round that cause the fish to grow at twice the normal rate. The government already requires labels to tell us if fish is wild-caught or farm-raised -- dont we also have a right to know if our salmon is genetically engineered? Without labels, well never know. As consumers, I think we have a right to know how the food we buy is produced, including whether its genetically engineered. Otherwise, we cant decide whats best for us and our families. Thats why I submitted a comment to the FDA demanding that genetically engineered foods be labeled. And with just a few clicks, you can join me! Will you tell the FDA that you support mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods too?
