Dear President Obama, The White House, Washington, DC
cc Administrator of the FDA, Washington DC
cc My Congressperson cc My Senator
Dear Mr.President and esteemed representatives of the American people;
We write to express our concern over the various FDA decisions on GMO Food Labeling and in particular we wish to express our deep concern over food labeling regarding visibility to us as consumers of the additives to grow/manufacture GMO Food. We ask that GMO Food be so labeled
Additionally we ask that NON GMO Food as exists in organic production be permitted to be so labeled.
The FDA has not required that GMO modified Food be clearly and legally labeled. In our opinion, by such rulings the FDA is not protecting the American citizen by not requiring that GMO modified food be labeled as such. Further we write to express our outrage that the FDA has now postured that it will no longer permit NON GMO Food to be labeled as NON GMO. This is clearly wrong
We, the people are entitled to a choice. We ask for clear cut labeling laws that at the very least allow NON GMO Food farmers to be permitted to label their food as NON GMO so that we the consumer have the free will and have the choice as consumers to read the label and buy NON GMO Foods for our families if we so choose. The FDA has no right to remove this right from the American people
We strongly urge that the FDA rule that GMO is an ADDITIVE, and as such, an additive in the food must be clearly labeled
Furthermore GMO modified food has had no clinical human trials to prove that it is safe as a food. Over 800 Scientists from around the world have sent an open letter addressing their concerns for the future of our food supply.
Millions of us are waiting for you to reverse the recent Monsanto-backed FDA’s permission to plant alfalfa and sugar beet without scientific scrutiny. This overt refusal to accept the Science and the will of the people is worrisome. We do not wish to consume GMO- food that enter our bodies in the name of “substantially equivalent” to real food. Already, the rising allergies, kidney and liver complications, lower sperm counts, sterility in numerous European University peer reviewed an published health studies, are linked to GMO.
We the people view the FDA as dysfunctional, and that the FDA is compromised by corporate influence. We ask our elected leaders have the vision to see where our health is destined to land, and to listen to the concerns of common ordinary people fighting hard to protect our health. Please do not dismiss us as the collateral damage of corporate greed.
Listen to the 828 Scientists of ISIS not aligned with the government’s FDA-backed Industry:
* The scientists are extremely concerned about the hazards of GMOs to biodiversity, food safety, human and animal health, and demand a moratorium on environmental releases in accordance with the precautionary principle.
* They are opposed to GM crops that will intensify corporate monopoly, exacerbate inequality and prevent the essential shift to sustainable agriculture that can provide food security and health around the world.
* They want more support on research and development of non-corporate, sustainable agriculture that can benefit family farmers all over the world.
We do not expect a reversal of direction from the FDA, riddled as they are with compromised agendas, most of which protect the industries that fund them. We must receive it from the President’s office, and our elected officials who alone can reverse the damage already inflicted.
We ask that you assure us that NON GMO Foods will be allowed to be clearly labeled as NON GMO to give us a consumers the right to chose what we eat. This is our right as free thinking American citizens
Thank you.
Yours truly and we would appreciate a response directly from you
