As indicated in a very informative editorial in the Jan. 22 Newsleader, there is a growing effort being made by the large food industries to lobby congress for a law that would make food labeling of GMO’s illegal.
If there is no harm to us eating these foods why would the industry want food labeling hidden from the general public?
As we know, food is at the very base of our health and welfare. What is in our food seems like such a basic right. It seems “we the people” must counterbalance the powerful food lobby with our request for full information on food labels.
It seems a quick and easy way to do this is to pick up our cellphones or landlines and contact our elected representatives letting them know how important this issue is to us. The staff at these offices will report your vote:
Amy Klobuchar – 202-228-2186
Al Franken – 202-224-5641
Tom Emmer – 763-241-6848
Thanks again to the Newsleader for such helpful information.
