Think you have a right to know what you’re eating? This is your chance to demand transparency in GMO food labeling.
The Massachusetts GMO labeling bill has the support of over 75 percent of the state legislature, but unless we make it a priority this session, it might not even get voted on! We know that the biotech and processed food industries are spending millions to keep us in the dark about what we’re eating. As I write this they are hard at work lobbying to pass the federal DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act, a bill that would prevent passage of any state or federal mandatory GMO labeling law.
This is the ONLY public hearing in 2015 or 2016, so it’s important to turn out in large numbers to demonstrate support. Please join with hundreds of other foodies, farmers and families on Sept. 22 in support of transparency in food labeling.
