Congress Votes to Override State Law and Block Americans’ Right to Know If Our Food Has Been Genetically Modified
All Americans – conservatives and liberals – want their families to have access to safe food.
Polls by ABC news, Associated Press and other major organizations show that Americans overwhelmingly want genetically modified foods (“GMOs”) labeled … and don’t believe that GMOs are safe.
A poll by Pew Research Center finds that two-thirds of Americans think that scientists don’t fully understand GMOs, and therefore cannot guarantee people are safe if they eat genetically modified food
Indeed, most independent scientists – ones not making money from the GMO food manufacturers – say that GMO foods are very concerning.
For example a recent study commissioned by Norwegian officials and conducted by a scientific authority on the safety of biotechnologies concludes GMO crops lack scientific data to prove their safety. And see this.
And a poll shows that 68% of American and Canadian doctors think that GMOs should be labeled.
No wonder Vermont, Connecticut and Maine have voted to require GMO food labels in their states.
So how does our bought-and-paid-for Congress react? By banning GMOs until further studies are conducted? By demanding labeling of GMOs so consumers can decide?
Of course not!
Congress may vote today on a bill today forbidding states from requiring GMO food labeling, or from banning GMOs within their states.
