Dear Herbalists,

With the recent news that unsafe Genetically Engineered Corn

destined only for Animals was recently put into Taco Shells, this alert

will enable you to voice your views on the subject........Penny Khaled

GE Food Alert Action Alert

 

We need your help. Please forward this message to your friends and

family

who are concerned about genetically engineered ingredients.

 

Like a lot of people, I'm concerned about genetically engineered

ingredients. The recent news stories about Taco Bellâ Taco Shells have

really driven the point home. The taco shells tested contain a

genetically

engineered protein that the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) says is

 

fit only for animal consumption.

 

The worst part is, the public had no way of knowing about the ingredient

 

because companies don't have to label genetically engineered

ingredients.

If companies have to tell us how much vitamin C there is in the food we

eat, why don't they have to tell us about these potentially harmful

ingredients?

 

The story about this potentially harmful product has been covered across

 

the country, in over 600 places, including the LA Times:

As disconcerting as this story is, there is something we can do! The

Food

and Drug Administration (FDA) is developing a proposal for handling

genetically engineered ingredients in our food right now. We have the

opportunity to make our voices heard about this public health issue, and

we

can do it in less than 30 seconds.

 

Forward this message to your friends and family who are concerned about

genetically engineered foods. They can visit our website at:

and send a message to the FDA and our corporate leaders to demand the

testing and labeling of genetically engineered ingredients. This is our

 

chance to protect our health, and we shouldn't let it pass us by.
