Here’s The Politicians Who Were Paid to Make GMO Labeling Illegal





Want to know where the dirty money is which is helping to make GMO labeling illegal?


Shockingly, or perhaps not to the individuals
who have been observing the biotech charade, house members who voted to
keep the public from knowing what is in their food in the latest
land-slide win for Big Food supporters of The Safe and Accurate Food
Labeling Act of 2015 (known to its critics as the DARK (Deny Americans
the Right to Know Act)) were paid three times as much as representatives who voted to give us the right to label or ban GMO foods.

It seems odd that the bill would float
through Congress so easily with a 275 to 150 vote when so many Americans
have expressed a wish to have their food labeled. The Center for Food
safety says that 93% of Americans want their food labeled if it contains
GM ingredients. And that is just one of many surveys showing similar
results:

Surveys repeatedly show that 80 percent to 95 percent of people want foods that contain genetically modified organisms to be labeled (in the least). Here is a simple breakdown of some reported polls on consumer demand for GMO labeling:

The New York Times: 93% found to be in support of labeling GMOs


MSNBC: 96% in support


Reuters/NPR: 93% in support of full labeling


Washington Post: 95% in support of full labeling


Consumer Reports: 95% agree GM animals should be labeled


ABC News: 93% want federal GM labeling mandate


Petition: STOP the DARK Act Which Would Make GMO Labeling Illegal!
