93% of Americans according to polls are supporting the idea of GMO food labeling. On Thursday, December 5th, 2013 the mayor of the Big Island of Hawaii, Billy Kenoi, signed bill 113 into
law. This bill prohibits biotech companies from operating on the Big
Island, and it bans farmers from growing any new genetically altered
crops. This is a great news since it means that Hawaii joined Mexico and Italy and 9 other European countries that banned genetically modified plants from being planted on their soil.
Biotech companies are trying desperately to prevent labeling from happening by using secret and illegal donations from fast food industry, bribing politicians, meddling with congress decisions, for instance by forcing a well known Monsanto Protection Act which is supposed to protect Biotech companies from being sued in case if the truth about the scientific findings (Seralini, France) that GMOs are highly cancerous and toxic and dangerous -will finally be acknowledged in official news.
After all it is all about the right to know what is in our food, and if we choose not to eat an apple crossed with a pig, or strawberry crossed with an arctic fish, or if we choose not to eat contaminated toxic corn which is in everything right now - we might just choose not to eat it, that's all people want for now. In the long run, people want to eliminate frankenfood from our food chain. Look at this sick fish, it is a genetically modified trout, product of years of expensive research, maybe already on your dinner plate. Read the article
