Did you know that over 80% of crops like corn and soy are genetically engineered?
Or that more than two-thirds of processed foods contain genetically engineered ingredients?
No? Well, you’re not alone. Since the current Food and Drug Administration policy doesn’t require labeling, it’s hard to know what you’re eating. But, there’s something you can do about it!
Back in October, we told you about our partnership with the Just Label It: We Have a Right To Know campaign. Created to advocate for the labeling of genetically engineered foods, the campaign has a legal petition to the FDA pending. We and over half a million other Americans have already signed it. Wanna join us? Visit JustLabelIt.org to tell the FDA that you have a right to know what’s in your food.
To learn more, check out the campaign’s new video by award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner of Food, Inc.
Hello! I’m a big fan of Glee Gum but I disagree with the Just Label It campaign. Here’s why: http://farmwars.info/?p=6694
Thanks for the feedback, and for being a fan of Glee! We don’t believe in putting a GMO-Free label on products that contain some GMO-Free ingredients. If there are any GMOs in there, there shouldn’t be a GMO-Free label! We believe in labeling products that do contain GMOs as such.
Labeling gmo focuses on providing useful information to all consumers by indicating which ingredient or foods include ingredients that are genetically modified.
