55 members of Congress have signed a letter encouraging the FDA to require that GE (genetically engineered) food be labelled. New research is unveiling some dangers with GE food; namely, increasing food allergies and parts of it being indigestable.
No matter what side of this you are on, I do believe that consumers have the right to know if a product they are considering consuming contains GMO Food.
Read more about the letter here and you can even join thousands and send a letter to the FDA just below the article. Another step that you could take it contacting your local congressional officials and encouraging them to sign the letter as well.
I sure do hope that this labeling happens here in our country. It would definitely be one step forward in making people aware of what is "really" going on with our food.
