No one likes to be left in the dark.

When more than 90 percent of Americans support labeling genetically engineered foods, it’s clear we want to know what we're buying. But if Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) and Big Food lobbyists get their way, no one will have that right.

The Deny Americans the Right to Know – or DARK – Act would prevent states from adopting GE labeling laws, undo labeling laws that some states have already enacted and make it harder for the federal Food and Drug Administration to require mandatory national GE labeling in the future.

**It co-opts our fundamental right to know what we’re eating and feeding our families. We can’t let that happen.**

It's estimated that today 75 percent of supermarket foods are genetically engineered or contain GE ingredients. It's time for the federal government to help consumers find out what they're eating.

**Monsanto, the Grocery Manufacturers Association (an industry front group) and others have already spent over $100 million to keep consumers in the dark in Washington, California, Oregon and Colorado alone.** And with millions more at their disposal, you can bet that Big Food will be pulling out all the stops to get this reprehensible bill passed *this year*. That’s why we need a supernova of opposition right now to fight back and show them that our voices are stronger.

**Let’s prove that the American people are louder than Big Food lobbyists. Let your representative know that you stand with EWG and demand your right to know what you’re eating.**

Thanks for speaking up. Together, we'll win this fight.

Sincerely,

Ken Cook  
President, Environmental Working Group
