Recently, a legal docket has been filed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to label items that contain genetically engineered foods. The FDA has not required labeling GMO foods because they said it would cause "fear" among the public. The FDA themselves seem to think GMO foods are indeed a problem, but they have so far let America eat the foods blindly. GMO foods have been in our food supply since the 1990's and an entire generation of kids have grown up eating GMO foods. It is time to label these foods so we can at least make an informed decision about what we eat and what we allow into our bodies! Other countries including the 15 European nations, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Russia, and China all require labeling of GMO foods. We should too!
You can write the FDA commissioner through http://justlabelit.org/ and tell him that you want GMO foods labeled. This website already writes the letter for you so all you have to do is submit, or you can edit, or write an original one!
Also, visit that website to learn about GMO's and why we want them labeled!
Just label it!
