MONSANTO: Modified food need labels



Modified food need labels

Monsanto appears to be on a mission to flood the world with its genetically modified seeds
Monsanto is reported to have used ingredients such as Roundup, soil bacteria and E-coli injected into the cell structure of common seeds with little research for the safety of genetically modified foods (www.sourcewatch.org). Congress has passed legislation to allow no labeling of genetically modified foods. Without labeling, we have no choice in our purchasing, and Monsanto has no responsibility if there are health consequences. Monsanto has reason to cheer that legislation, but who is protecting the consumer?

What can we do? Petition our legislators to label genetically modified foods and disallow patents on living things. The corporate takeover of our government and our best interests goes on and on. Monsanto influence is especially critical because there is an unknown risk to our health and safety.
