Montana Organic Association has joined other partner organizations to support the FDA petition for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered (GE, GMO) foods. See JustLabelIt.org. See also the MOA’s GMO Page for lots more about this threat to the environment, and human health
I’ve added a new GMOs category in the right-hand column of our home page called GMOs, where you can find links to the Just Label It campaign and to all my earlier posts on GMOs.
Read on for a 3 minute video about this campaign, and a transcription of MOA’s short article about this problem and the Just Label It petition.

MOA Endorses “Just Label It”
[The following is a transcription of the article from the MOAs Organic Matters Winter 2012 newsletter]
A recent study shows that 93% of Americans support mandatory labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods. Yet for 20 years we have been denied that right. Without labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods, we cannot make informed choices about the food we eat.
The Just Label It: We Have a Right to Know campaign was created to advocate for the labeling of GE foods.
MOA is the latest of hundreds of partner organizations that have joined together in support of the FDA petition and the mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods.
We hope to raise awareness of this issue, drive consumers to submit comments to the FDA and let Washington Know that Americans want labeling of genetically engineered foods.
Please visit www.justlabelit.org for more information and instructions on how to submit your comments to the FDA.
