On November 7 2012, Californians had a chance to vote on a law that would require labeling of all Genetically Modified (“GMO”) ingredients found in the processed foods sold in their state. The proposition also included a ban on the use of the word “natural” when it’s used to describe foods that contain GMO ingredients (a common approach used by many processed food manufacturers).
America: land of inalienable rights.
Except for your right to choose the most healthy food.
Sure, you can waltz into your local grocery store and buy organic lettuce. It’s easy because you can see the difference: it’s labeled “organic.”
Unfortunately, GMOs are not labeled. Which means you have no idea if you’re choosing food with genetically modified ingredients.
And believe me, you are. About 70% of the time.
If something is that prevalent in our food, why isn’t it on the label?
