When OCA International Director Ronnie Cummins was invited by a media group to write an op-ed on GMO labeling, he jumped at the opportunity to make it very clear why OCA and millions of Americans want labels on GMO foods: Because we believe the scientific evidence that GMO foods, and the toxic chemicals used to grow and produce them, are unsafe.
So far, Ronnie’s hard-hitting op-ed has been read by millions of consumers in 45 daily newspapers across the U.S.
It’s time to stop pretending that consumers just want “the right to know.” It’s time to take a stand, to be very clear about why we want the right to know.
The timing couldn’t be better. Last month (October 21, 2015), the Senate Ag Committee held a sham hearing on biotechnology, largely for the purpose of promoting GMOs. The Senate hearing ended exactly the same way the House hearing on H.R. 1599 ended—with everyone present stating that GMOs are “safe.”
It’s time to stop pretending. It’s time to speak the truth. Or suffer the consequences.
