We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Require companies to properly label their foods, as to increase consumer health

Created by J.W. on May 10, 2016

Having companies properly label their foods is very important, as it educates the consumer into making good food related decisions. Currently companies are able to get away with labeling something as "all natural" or "natural flavors". These labels can be misleading, as something can be derived from a natural source, then altered in a lab, and still be considered a "natural flavor". This means that we must get the FDA to define the word natural and make sure that companies are only allowed to label their foods accordingly. Overall, by labeling properly foods, it allows for better consumer education on their food and their health, which will help combat the obesity epidemic in our country.
