There has been an alarming increase in chronic health conditions, many of which appear to be linked to GMO consumption.
All across the country, people are rising up and demanding that the foods they eat be properly identified and honestly labeled. And the constituency of the state of Oregon is no exception, where a trio of legislative bills recently introduced would require that all genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) be properly labeled, as well as prohibit the import and sale of GM salmon, the first transgenic animal to ever be preliminarily approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human consumption.

H.B.2175, whose chief sponsor is
Representative Deborah Boone
Beach, provisions that all foods
containing or made with genetically-
engineered (GE) m aterial be properly
labeled in the state of Oregon. Any
food products made with or
containing GMOs that are not
properly labeled beginning on
January 1, 2014, will be deem ed
misbranded, andits manufacturer
held liable for breakingthe state's
food labeling requirem ents.
Inthe same vein, H.8. 1530
prohibits GE salm on not only from
being cultivated and farm ed within
the state of Oregon, but also from
being im ported and sold there. As
reported in years past, the "Franken-
salm on,” known offically as
"AquAdvantage," was approved by
the FDA against the will of the
people, and without adequate safety
studies proving the fish was safe for
hum an consumption and that it
would not contam inate wild fish.

H.B. 3177 designates that all GE

fact that GMOs have been linked to
causing organ damage,
gastrointestinal problem s, allergies,
and even cancer.
The Center for Food Safety, a
nonprofit public interest and
environm ental advocacy group, says
GMO labeling legislation has been
proposed in nearly half of all states.
And even though a single one has yet
to pass, awareness about the
presence of GMOs throughout the
food supply is growing, and
individuals everywhere are saying
'Enough." to all the political
gerrymandering being prom pted by
the biotechnology industry.
"The profit-driven m otives to
prohibit GMO labeling are
reprehensible and represent an
egregious indictm ent of the current
health care system,” said Dr. Mary
Zesiewicz, aboard-certified
psychiatrist, to state lavm akers in
Colorado during a recent hearing.
During her testim ony, Dr. Zesiewicz
explained that she has "seen an
alarm ing increase in chronic health
conditions" at her practice, many of
which appear to be linkedto GMO
consumption.
