Support GMO Labelling

Pure food activist Ronnie Cummins says:
Dear Organic Consumer,
With
just nine days to go until our May 26 deadline, our ‘Drop the Money
Bomb on Monsanto’ campaign is generating more excitement than I ever
imagined possible. Each day more people, more websites, more media
outlets join in this unprecedented, coordinated effort to raise enough
money to fight back against Big Biotech and Food Inc. and to – finally –
win the right to know if our food contains GMOs.

If you haven’t already pitched in, please make a donation soon.
If you have already contributed, please forward this week’s issue of
Organic Bytes to friends, or share it with your social media networks.
We need your help today to raise $1 million for the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act.
If we reach our goal by May 26, we will receive a matching $1 million
gift from Mercola.com, Nature’s Path, Lundberg Family Farms, Eden Foods
and a number of public interest organizations.
I’ve had the pleasure of speaking directly with some of you
who have called in to make donations. Many of you have thanked OCA for
bringing so many groups together around this cause. Twenty years ago,
when the FDA outrageously declared that genetically modified foods were
“substantially equivalent” to unmodified foods, and therefore would not
be labeled, we and our allies didn’t have large email lists, Internet
fundraising capabilities, or social media. We couldn’t have waged a
massive campaign like this.
Read more about GMO labels in Japan at the Ministry of Agriculture (MAFF) website. Over at Consumers Union of Japan we want the rules to be expanded to all GMOs, and make sure that the current limit of 5% is lowered so that shoppers who want to avoid biotech food can get the same information that is available in the EU where the limit is 0.9%.
