Despite the fact that 9 out of 10 Americans support mandatory GMO labeling, the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 1599, otherwise known as the Deny Americans the Right to Know – or DARK Act.
Regardless of age, income, education level or even party affiliation, Americans deserve the right to know what is in their food and how it was produced – the same right held by citizens in 64 other nations.
If passed into law, not only would it block all states from labeling genetically engineered foods, but it would also make it much harder for the FDA to ever mandate national labeling. If we’re going to stop this reprehensible bill from becoming law, we need to show the Senate and President Obama how serious we are about GMO labeling.
