If you live in California like I do, it is very important that you visit this website: http://labelgmos.org/
This website contains information regarding the 2012 Campaign for the mandatory labeling of GMO's (genetically modified foods) here in the state of California!
QUICK FACTS:
Currently, our government does not require the labeling of genetically modified foods!
GMO's are created through gene-splicing. This process removes and inserts the genes of different species like bacteria, viruses, plants, or animals and combines the DNA into one species to create a new one!
We have no scientific data yet to prove that GMO's are safe. The FDA relied on safety data obtained from studies conducted by the very same companies that created these new "organisms".
Polls consistently show that the American public want GMO's labeled. According to the 2008 CBS News poll, 87% of the people want to know if they are purchasing genetically modified foods!
What can you do to help?
Visit the website and become a food activist! We need you to help spread the word and educate others about GMO's. If you live in the San Diego area and would like to volunteer locally then please email me at: thefoodanthropologist@gmail.com
It's our right to know what is in our food!
