In the extremely latest in underhanded moves to “force feed” the globe GM food items, the Grocery Companies Association (GMA) is reportedly seeking to deem GMO meals “natural.”  The GMA, representing above 300 organizations, has sent a letter to the FDA detailing its ideas to petition the FDA to permit GMO meals to be labelled as “natural.”  In their letter the GMA states that, “There is absolutely nothing ‘synthetic or artificial’ about food items derived from biotechnology, as that term has been utilized by the company.”  This declare is based on the 1992 FDA policy that biotech food items are no various than foods designed from traditional plant breeding.

1 glaring cause of the difficulty at hand, is the FDA’s failure to define what food is “natural.”  The FDA defends its failure by claiming that it is hard from a scientific perspective to define what is “natural,” as numerous foods are processed.  However, the FDA does not object to the use of the phrase for meals that do not contain artificial flavors, extra colors or synthetic substances.

Once again the FDA’s failure to take the required action to shield the men and women, has left the door open to courruption of the program.  As extended as the door remains open, the Biotech Sector will employ it as an open invitation to stroll through.  If you consider there is no way the FDA will enable GMO food items to be labelled as “natural,” then you may not know the FDA.  The Biotech Market can smell the buyer blood and is efficiently going in for the destroy.

It is time for the hunter to turn into the hunted.  Consumers everywhere should actively stand up for the right to know what is in our meals and to have a governmental foods agency with out Biotech influence and conflicts of interest.  Let your voice be heard by your congressman, senator, grocery store proprietor and the FDA.  Buy meals with a lot more credible labels, this kind of as individuals certified as natural and GMO free of charge.  Tell your grocer that if they do not conform to defending the people, that you will consider your enterprise elsewhere.

Boycott companys that are members of the GMA, this kind of as Bumble Bee Foods, LLC, Campbell Soup Company, The Coca-Cola Company, Colgate-Palmolive Firm, Del Monte Meals, Basic Mills, Inc., Kraft Food items Group, Land O’Lakes, Inc., McDonald’s Corporation, Submit Food items, LLC, Procter &amp Gamble Business, DuPont and Monsanto.  In this merciless GMO battle fueled by corporate greed, the client might be down, but not out.
