In case it hasn't come across your radar, over 400 organizations are coming together right now to attempt to get the FDA to label genetically modified organisms. The US lags a decade behind all major economies in making this important step toward consumer awareness of what is in their food. Perhaps this is because we are the largest grower and exporter of GMOs. If you haven't yet gotten involved, check out http://justlabelit.org/ for information and a quick online petition. Better yet, contact your congressional representative and tell them you support the labeling of genetically modified products. The time is now, we've gone too long without labeling, and now that GMOs are in 80% of our processed foods, it's high time we knew.
