The Council for Responsible Genetics believes that everyone should know what they're eating. Join us in supporting mandatory GMO labeling in Massachusetts by calling your legislators before the March 19th deadline! They need to hear from you. Visit www.marighttoknow.org for more information.

You think you should know what you're feeding your family? We do too! Massachusetts is considering mandatory GMO labeling legislation, but unless they hear from YOU before 3/19, it won't happen. We know they are hearing from industry lobbyists, so we need you to give them a call!
.
The federal government does not perform safety testing of GMO foods, and there is mounting evidence of their health and environmental risks. While the jury is out on their safety, we want to be able to make our own choices. If you want to know what's in your food, please take action to support mandatory GMO labeling legislation in Massachusetts. Your elected officials need to hear from you, now!

Please contact your legislators to demand GMO labeling in MA
Massachusetts elected officials have the opportunity to join a national push toward mandatory GMO labeling. More than 90% of Americans want to know if they're eating genetically engineered ingredients. However, industry lobbyists are telling our Reps that people don't need to know what they're feeding their families.Please sign this petition and make a call to you elected officials:
Why do we need to know if it's GMO?
More than 90 percent of Americans want GMOs labeled, and we are not alone. Due to health and environmental concerns, more than 60 other countries already require GMO labeling or ban them altogether
The World Health Organization and the American Medical Association have called for mandatory pre-market safety testing of GMO foods, a standard the U.S. fails to meet. Dozens of public health groups support mandatory GMO labeling, including the American Public Health Association, the American Nurses Association, the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Allergy Kids Foundation.
Parents need to know what they're feeding their families. Let's label GMOs.
