Fwd: Thank you for signing the Tell the FDA that we have a right to know what's in our food. petition

[Guest guest]

Dear all of you,

What's the FDA (and its cronies) hiding that they're afraid to label their

GM " miracle " crops? GMO foodstuffs have NOT been tested over time; early

students already show that GMOs lead to organ damage, and the use of

glyphosate (Roundup) w/ GM crops is a time bomb leading to crop failure and

severe loss of soil fertility -- (via locking up minerals and killing off

beneficial soil microbes). As Pogo said: we have met the enemy and we are

it. Foreign enemies (terrorists replacing the " communists " of decades past)

won't destroy us. We're doing it to ourselves. Squawk Lout and Lots!!The

FDA is on the brink of approving genetically engineered salmon for human

consumption. This 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 – don't we also have a right to know if our

salmon is genetically engineered? Without labels, we'll never know.

More than forty countries, including Russia and China, already require

labels on genetically engineered foods. As Americans, we firmly believe

that we deserve the same right to know what we are eating.

That's why I signed a petition to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),

which says:

" Commissioner Hamburg, we urge the FDA to require the mandatory labeling of

genetically engineered foods. We have a right to know about the food we eat

and what we feed our families, but under current FDA regulations, we don’t

have that ability when it comes to genetically engineered foods.

Polls show that more than 90% of Americans support mandatory labeling. Such

near-unanimity in public opinion is rare. Please listen to the American

public and mandate labeling of genetically engineered foods. "
