Big Food is up to its dirty tricks again. Monsanto is joining with the junk food lobby in trying to push legislation through the U.S. Congress that would limit your right to know what youre eating. Politico published a draft of the proposed bill, which would bar states from requiring labels on food that has Genetically Engineered (GE) ingredients as well as limiting the Food and Drug Administrations ability to compel food companies to use GE labeling. It would even let companies label GE foods natural! Maine and Connecticut have already passed laws that could require GE labeling, and Connecticut plans to prohibit GE ingredients in foods labeled natural. More than 20 other states are set to consider GE labeling laws in 2014. But Big Food’s new legislation, if passed, would eviscerate these efforts. You can take action now. Your members of Congress need to know that you demand the right to know what youre eating. action.ewg.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=2050&tag=201401GEActionFoodRevolution
