Description:
Goats that produce spider silk in their milk. Pigs with mouse DNA to improve their digestion. These animals aren't freaks of nature--they're created by man through genetic engineering.
But the Food and Drug Administration wants to let the meat and milk from these animals be sold to you without your knowledge!
FDA has said that each of these animals is different enough from the normal version that it has to go through a full safety assessment. But FDA has refused to require labeling, and says that the ethics of such changes cannot even be considered in its decisionmaking.
We should know what we're buying and eating--and have the right to say "no" to gene-altered food.
Sign our petition to the FDA demanding the agency label genetically engineered food.
