Concerned Citizens, Farmers, Families, Students, Safe Food Activists, and Food Justice Organizations will do an Eat-In for GMO Labeling. The FDA is supposed to be the watchdog that protects us. Its purpose is to safeguard the consumer against industry, but instead it often seems to do the absolute reverse. Take back the Food System!
