Michelle Obama: include research & discussion about the health effects of GMOs in your "Let's Move" health program!

Created by K.G. on March 22, 2013

Michelle Obama encourages healthy eating, exercise, & gardening through "Let's Move" (www.letsmove.gov), however there's a glaring omission. Genetically Modified Foods have been incorporated into the American diet, though they've been banned in much of Europe, Asia, and Canada, and many scientists believe they may have long ranging health effects, & may cause cancer. There is compelling evidence related to GMO consumption that helps explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children. We ask Michelle Obama to watch the seminal documentary "Genetic Roulette" and begin addressing this facet of the American food and health crisis. To do otherwise is to neglect one of the most urgent health issues of our time!
