Require labels for GMO food

Submitted by Selwyn Polit on Mon, 10/24/2011 - 7:49pm

I went to the whitehouse.gov website to create a new petition (Isn't that cool?) to put a stop to Genetically Modified Foods and found someone had already beaten me to it.  There is already one there which is encouraging labelling of foods containing GMO organisms.  at http://wh.gov/gAH so please go sign it.

thanks
