Legislation that has been dubbed the Deny Americans the Right to Know, or DARK, Act passed the House of Representatives on Thursday.
The act, officially titled the ‘Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act’, strips states of their right to require that GMO foods be labeled and prevents the Food and Drug Administration from mandating a nationwide GMO labeling system.
“It’s outrageous that some House lawmakers voted to ignore the wishes of nine out of 10 Americans,” said Scott Faber, the senior vice president of government affairs for Environmental Working Group (EWG). “Today’s vote to deny Americans the right to know what’s in their food and how it’s grown was a foregone conclusion. This House was bought and paid for by corporate interests, so it’s no surprise that it passed a bill to block states and the FDA from giving consumers basic information about their food.”

How much are you being paid to sell the American people down the tubes this time we want to know where our food comes from
All of the corrupt people behind Momsanto food need to be sued for ruining our food supply and killing our cars!
Sad times! and it’s all cause of immoral, corrupt and very stupid people, has nothing to do with education, but everything to do with being wrong in all aspects of human behavior and thought.
This should be left to the states and why is government protecting GMOs. People have a right to know what they are eating!
Guess we grow our own food. Actually putting up Food Storage would be a great idea; before they start this c**p!
This is a crock of BS, they should not put anything in our food we are not aware of!!
As a custom applicator of pesticides on crops since 1973 I would like for someone to prove to me why GMO labeling is necessary. Like Fracking GMOs are here to stay since farmers use them because they’re much safer than the deadly chemicals we had available 40 years ago.
The US is the only country that lets that in the food people eat. The Congress get large money from the people that make the GMO! The congressmen get the money and free trips and other things and the people are stuck with food that will make you sick!
Mabe we go huntin
All I know is people are living longer–with or without GMOs–farmers cannot exist on low prices and low yielding crops–and the growing population will not be fed by gardens and organic food—what answer do you have? I would like to know–we will have starvation eventually from lack of food for an evergrowing population—perhaps everyone should start raising their own food–do not buy any of it at the grocery store–it will be a full time job for every family–what are your thoughts on this—I personally know we have been eating GMOs for 30 years–had it in Nutrition and is in farm magazine all the time–it is so less chemicals are used and are more drought resistant–I DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE NEWS–they use all kinds of scare tactics–I am just going to eat what is available and forget about these comments–we will eventually have a food shortage–with or without GMOs–too much world population.They have chickens ready to butcher at 8 weeks–they are so heavy their legs will not hold them up–not sure but I think growth harmones are allowed in chickens but not beef–however I could be wrong on this–I stand corrected if I am?
