Dear Reader,

In a country that labels everything from cosmetics to cleaning agents, it's surprising that there are no laws in the U.S. requiring labeling of genetically engineered foods.

SIGN THE PETITION to the FDA to Label GMOs!

The FDA undertakes no GMO safety testing on its own. Instead, they allow companies like Monsanto, who told us that their DDT, PCBs, and Agent Orange was safe, to determine if their GMOs are safe. Internal FDA documents revealed that the agency's own scientists warned of serious health risks, and urged long-term testing--but were denied. Now many doctors prescribe non-GMO diets, citing serious health disorders in lab animals fed GMOs. Don't be a lab animal!

In October, a formal legal petition was filed by the Center for Food Safety with the FDA to demand labeling of GMOs. As a part of the Just Label It! campaign we need your help to get 10,000 more comments by March 27thto reach our goal of 1 million. Please sign the petition to the FDA and help us spread the word! Forward this email to your friends and share the petitionwith your social networks!

There are many reasons why Americans want labeling of genetically engineered foods. Whatever the reason is that brought you here, what unites us all is that we all want to make informed choices about the food we eat and feed our families. We have a right to know if what we are eating has been genetically engineered.
Warm Regards, 

The Staff of the Institute for Responsible Technology
