Genetically modified organisms, known better as GMO’s, can be defined
as organisms in
which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. In order to create food that tastes better, grows faster and repels bugs or other things that can interfere with the growing process, chemicals are added.
It has been estimated that upwards of 70 percent of processed foods on supermarket shelves–from soda to soup, crackers to condiments–contain genetically engineered ingredients. GM ingredients, in the form of modified enzymes, are found in virtually all breads, cheeses, sodas, and beers, and farmers have been raising GM food crops such as corn, soybeans, and potatoes since the mid-1990s.
The debate about GMO’s concerns something very personal to each of us: what we and our children are eating. There is little known about what exactly these chemicals are doing to our bodies because the FDA has not required testing, but the side affects of animals that have been tested(not that we agree with that) have been horrendous: tumors, illness and death. It is thought that GMO’s cause Allergies, New diseases, and Nutritional Problems.
Despite these long-term and wide-ranging risks, Congress has yet to pass a single law intended to manage them responsibly. Labeling is not required.
We have to require a change. We have a right to know what’s in the food we eat and a right to know how it’s produced.
You can change to non-GMO without changing the formula for a product. Companies that are world wide have switched their ingredients for other countries, like Europe and China, that have made it mandatory to label GM foods. But, America has not demanded this, so our food remains chemically treated and not labeled.
Demand that our food be labeled! Shop for things that accurately describe what is in the product you are buying. Educate yourself.
Sign the petition and demand your voice be heard.

Americans are taking a huge risk by not forcing our food to be labeled.
