Legislation that has been dubbed the Deny Americans the Right to Know, or DARK, Act passed the House of Representatives on Thursday.
The act, officially titled the ‘Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act’, strips states of their right to require that GMO foods be labeled and prevents the Food and Drug Administration from mandating a nationwide GMO labeling system.
“It’s outrageous that some House lawmakers voted to ignore the wishes of nine out of 10 Americans,” said Scott Faber, the senior vice president of government affairs for Environmental Working Group (EWG). “Today’s vote to deny Americans the right to know what’s in their food and how it’s grown was a foregone conclusion. This House was bought and paid for by corporate interests, so it’s no surprise that it passed a bill to block states and the FDA from giving consumers basic information about their food.”

I won’t starve because we outlawed GMO’s here in Jackson Co, Oregon. The “science” has been investigated and GMO’s are dangerous to animals, humans, and bees. I grow my own and can, we have a large network of GMO free farmers to supply all our needs.

Good to hear-I will be digging up my sons yard soon for next planting season
Yes where do they get their safe foods? Is there actually a safe place to buy food not contaminated???
Shameful!
You seem like a smart guy, you keep yelling at us to accept the flawed science, paid for by MONSANTO! Do you grow Monsanto products? Geneticists have bred GMO pigs that glow in the dark by inserting into their DNA a gene for bioluminescence from a jellyfish. Yum. “Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe,” according to the Non-GMO Project. “In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs.” I think world consensus trumps forced science.
I bet they grow it inside the white house
