The USDA & FDA Need To Tell The Truth

I received this notice from FRESH, the movie. It’s a petition telling the USDA & FDA to label all foods that are GMO/GE.

Please sign it…it’s as simple as a click!

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have adopted a pro-corporate position that laughably claims labeling GM/GE foods creates the “false” impression that “that the labeled food is in some way different from other foods.” [1]  Even worse, the current U.S. draft position paper declares that mandatory labeling laws such as they have in Europe are “false, misleading or deceptive.“ [2]

On May 3rd the Obama officials are petitioning the United Nations for a “special meeting” to encourage all countries to adopt their beliefs and NOT label their foods GMO/GE.

Since it is widely known that ‘we are what we absorb’ not always just what we eat, lets get to the bottom of what we put into foods that could be absorbed and destroy the natural benefits of a product. Anything that alters the basic structure of a food that is supposed to be ‘good for us’ by changing the very cells of that food, should be recognized by any reasonable thinking persons as ‘not good for us.’ Have we all lost our ability to be reasonable persons who can think? Are we so duped that we can actually believe that our government wants us to not see a difference in these GMO foods, therefore all foods are the same? Isn’t the highest form of deception when you don’t really know that you are being deceived? Let’s wake up, get up, and stand up to this nonsense before time runs – the health of our future generations rides on our shoulders!!

It is essential for the health of our family that we know what is in our food and what has been done to it. We are paying for it and we want honesty and thoroughness in labeling of the foods we consider purchasing.

Like Amy, I do not like to be unaware of what has been done to my food and have signed the petition.

Typically, I do not like legislation – I’m a constitutionalist. However, people can not make an informed decision when lies and truths are deliberately hidden. The Obama administration claimed to be “transparent”. One more proof that they are just the opposite.

I signed the petition. Hope other readers will, too.
