I have just viewed the amazing documentary, The Future of Food. It is a gut-wrencher.

We must join together in getting ALL foods labeled genetically-modified if they are such. We must hold accountable the severe diseases and illnesses created by Monsanto and other large corporations such as ConAgra. With labels on food packaging, these large selfish horrific corporations will be held accountable.

When you eat a bag of corn chips and get short of breath, do you think why? You cannot look at the label and find out. If we join together and get a bill passed requiring labelling of GM food packaging, then we win a large portion of the battle.
