How can you be sure genetic engineering was not used to make your food? Unless you’re eating organic, you can’t. We think you should have a right to know what’s in your food.
A note from Stonyfield CE-Yo, Gary Hishberg……….
Please join Stonyfield in an important campaign to persuade our government to protect everyone’s right to know what is in our food. The Just Label It – We Have a Right to Know (www.justlabelit.org) campaign is calling for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require a label on all foods produced with genetically engineered (GE) ingredients. The bottom line is, until we know without a doubt that GE crops are safe to eat, we should have a choice about whether we want to eat them. Please go to this site and then click on the petition to the FDA Commissioner. It takes about 30 seconds and could be one of the most powerful things you will do today.
Go here to read a Buzz Blog from Gary that explains what genetic engineering is and why we all have a right to know if it’s in our food.
About the Campaign….
The Just Label It campaign is a broad based coalition of nearly 400 businesses and organizations dedicated to food safety and consumer rights who have called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods, to give consumers the right to know what is in our food. A petition on behalf of millions of consumers has been submitted to the FDA calling for the mandatory labeling of GE foods. It’s been covered in major media, from USA Today to Business Week to Grist and Huffington Post.
I also want labeling that tells me if the apples in my son’s apple juice came from China!!!!!!
