Hello, this is NAME, calling from CITY, I’m calling about four GMO labeling bills that have widespread public support and deserve hearings. HB 2101, 2746, 2031 and 2034.
HB 2101 is a bill to label genetically engineered fish, like the GMO salmon that could be approved any day by the US Food and Drug Administration. The FDA found that genetically engineered salmon is less nutritious and more likely to trigger allergies and increase hormones linked to cancer, than normal salmon, but the FDA says it should be approved anyway and not be labeled!
HB 2746 is a bill to label genetically engineered produce, like the GMO papaya, zucchini, squash, and corn that is already being sold without labels in the supermarkets.
HB 2031 and HB 2034 are bills to label all GMO foods, including multi-ingredient processed foods made from GMO corn, soy, cotton, canola, sugar beets and alfalfa, the main GMO crops.
GMO food hasn’t been appropriately tested. Animals fed GMO crops have been found in many studies to develop organ damage, even according to Monsanto’s own data. GMOs are linked to an increase in children’s food allergies. Monsanto’s RoundUp Ready crops have greatly increased the use of RoundUp herbicide, which has been proven to cause birth defects.
We deserve the right to know what we’re eating! Please hold hearings on House Bills 2101, 2746, 2031 and 2034.
