The agency officially confirmed today that they are adopting our mandatory labeling requirements for all genetically modified products. We forced this change by refusing to accept anything less than full transparency. Keep an eye on the grocery aisles to ensure these labels appear as promised.

As a part of a science outreach project our job was to make a change.

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Association does not require a single safety study, does not mandate the labeling of GMO’s, and allows companies to put GMO food on the market without even notifying the agency.

Our goal is to have food products that have been genetically modified labeled; meats, dairy, etc.

Our nation has the highest obesity rate it has ever had. We owe it to our nation to inform them. We deserve to know what we are putting in our bodies.

I don't really mind GMO's, but it would be helpful for a lot of people if foods actually label what foods have what.
