LA City registered voters: please call up your Los Angeles City Councilmember TODAY and ask him/her to vote YES on GMO-Free LA! It goes to committee today and then for full vote tomorrow! After tomorrow LA City could be a GMO-Free Zone thanks to YOU!!!!! Why should you support this effort? GMOs are the splicing of genes between different species that would never cross breed in nature. GMOs require high-tech laboratory gene-manipulation. GMOs have only been planted and consumed en masse since the 1990s. Prior to their invention in laboratories, there were no GMOs growing anywhere in the world. Now they are in most US foods. Further: • Having a GMO-Free Zone in Los Angeles will protect the quality of the food increasing numbers of people are growing in their homes, schools, and communities. • Cities are not targeted for sale of GMO seeds and crops, thus banning sale of GMO seeds and crops would likely not impact the cost of seeds.
