Want to know where the dirty money is which is helping to make GMO labeling illegal?
Shockingly, or perhaps not to the individuals who have been observing
the biotech charade, house members who voted to keep the public from
knowing what is in their food in the latest land-slide win for Big Food
supporters of The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015 (known to
its critics as the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know Act))
were paid three times as much as representatives who voted to give us the right to label or ban GMO foods.
It seems odd that the bill would float through Congress so easily
with a 275 to 150 vote when so many Americans have expressed a wish to
have their food labeled. The Center for Food safety says that 93% of
Americans want their food labeled if it contains GM ingredients. And
that is just one of many surveys showing similar results:
Surveys repeatedly show that 80 percent to 95 percent of people want foods that contain genetically modified organisms to be labeled (in the least). Here is a simple breakdown of some reported polls on consumer demand for GMO labeling:
- ABC News: 93% want federal GM labeling mandate
Petition: STOP the DARK Act Which Would Make GMO Labeling Illegal!
Really – we label everything from pillows with warning labels – ‘this tag not to be removed’ to our pants.
Why not GM foods? What is it that Big Ag is trying to hide from us?
