Holy Mackerel! Actually, Salmon......

I just received and email regarding the FDA's plan to approve salmon that has been genetically engineered for human consumption without proper labeling.

Polls show that more than 90% of Americans support mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods.

The FDA is on the brink of approving genetically engineered salmon for human consumption. This would be the first genetically engineered animal on supermarket shelves in the United States.

The salmon is engineered to produce growth hormones year-round that cause the fish to grow at twice the normal rate. The government already requires labels to tell us if fish is wild-caught or farm-raised—don't we also have a right to know if our salmon is genetically engineered? Without labels, we'll never know.

More than forty countries, including Russia and China, already require labels on genetically engineered foods. As Americans, we firmly believe that we deserve the same right to know what we are eating.

If you believe that we, as Americans, need to take a stand against the FDA on this ruling, here is a link to voice your opinion.

Tell the FDA that we have a right to know what's in our food.!!!!
