Food Labeling

Food should be labelled to let the consumer know it genetically modified organism (GMO), growth hormones and antibiotics.  There are studies that show GMO food has detrimental health effects include an increase in allergies.   GMO food needs to be labelled.  Also GMO food needs to be tested for human saftey.

Yes!  Genetically engineered foods absolutely need to be labeled in this country.  If all of Europe thinks it's important enough to do, why not the US?  House Bill HR 6636 (Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act) from the 110th Congress addressed this specifically.  Lets get it passed.
