Just Label It: We Have a Right to Know

93% of Americans want the FDA to label genetically engineered foods. Watch the new video from Food, Inc. Filmmaker Robert Kenner to hear why we have the right to know what's in our food. Will you join these individuals — and over half a million Americans — in contacting the FDA to require the labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods? http://justlabelit.org

Monsanto loves you to death. :-)

Suicides due to crop failure in India, damage to foetus' in the womb, cross contamination of oil seed rape in Canada, superweeds in the US, etc, etc. Well done Monsanto, you have dealt out even more destruction than you managed with Agent Orange...

@mattmanC9 eh?If there is no problem with GMO's then why not label them? Why is it there is a revolving door between Monsanto and our FDA? And why is it since the introduction of GMO's we have seen a sharp increase in metabolic disorders, obesity, organ failure, and infertility. NOT TO MENTION making real farmers who save seeds or grow organically obsolete. Why would Monsanto need to hire mercenaries (Blackwater XE) to protect their brand? We're overreacting? You're not ANGRY enough!

@mattmanC9 DNA?

[mattmanC9]

...If you seriously think slightly altered "bad DNA" is going to affect you, buy organic, you're ignorant to think DNA is going to effect you, especially since 99% of everything you eat has DNA in it! Ignorant hypocrits! Ughh!  (btw- way to go frpd5)

[mattmanC9]

This makes me mad how terribly they skew the facts! The only statement they say is "we have a right to know!" If i hear that again i think im going to go insane. They dramaticize worse than my 6 year old little sister. All these things, hypertension, pregnant babies, and all this other cr4p they haven't the slightest shred of proof, no scientific fact that GMOs affect people in these scenarios! What dam hypocrits!

@frpd5 Do you know the difference between an OP variety, hybrid, & GMO? You could say that a variety of Monsanto's was not locally adapted, but thats an issue of variety dealing with breeding not an issue with the transgenes, unless you care to enlighten me on how an epsps or Cry1ab gene is increasing susceptibility to disease. Also, they're not sterile though hybrid seed is unstable in the F2 generation suicides are higher in states with bad policies & rates are similar to nonfarmers.

@Zhavlon World Bank’s policies forced India to open its seed sector to transnational corporations allowing for the seizure of India’s seed sector by Monsanto, as a result some traditional saved seeds were replaced with GM seeds, Monsanto GM Cotton seed, marketed as disease resistant & high-yielding turned out to be neither, it's sterile and cannot be saved, farmers have to buy seeds for each growing season, leading debt, there has been166,304 farmers’ suicides in a decade since 1997. GM failed!
