These are the U.S. Representatives who voted to ban GMO labeling and deny your right to know what you're eating
(NaturalNews) "We should not raise prices on consumers based on the
wishes of a handful of activists," said Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), who
just became consumer enemy number one after he decided to author a bill
that destroys any chance Americans have of knowing what's in their food,
specifically whether or not they contain genetically modified
ingredients, or GMOs.
What Pompeo isn't telling you, and in fact is deliberately covering up, is that Americans overwhelmingly support GMO-labeling (we're talking in the 90th percentile); you can view proof of that support here, here and here.
Pompeo,
who has likely been paid VERY well by Big Food lobbyists to spearhead
this initiative, has made it his mission to make sure that you and your
family continue eating foods made from crops that are genetically
engineered to withstand high doses of Monsanto's Roundup, which by the
way, its primary ingredient, glyphosate, was labeled as being "probably" carcinogenic to humans by the World Health Organization last spring.
Scientists also concluded that glyphosate is "genotoxic," meaning that it damages DNA and there's actually no safe level of exposure.
But Pompeo doesn't want you to know any of that. In fact, he's worried that GMO-labeling will only confuse you. Are you insulted? Well, you should be.
Named
the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015 by a bunch of
politicians who know next to nothing about GMOs, and the DARK Act
(Denying Americans the Right to Know) by passionate food activists and
consumer groups who have practically dedicated their lives to bringing
awareness about the dangers of GMOs, the legislation that was recently
passed in the House Committeeprevents all states from enacting their own
GMO-labeling laws, ever.
