Take Action: Genetically Engineeried Food
In an unusual and disturbing move, the FDA's (acting) Deputy Commissioner Lester Crawford sent a letter to the Governor of Oregon, John Kitzhaber, objecting to Measure 27 (which is on the November ballot to label genetically engineered (GE) food.
The FDA is ignoring growing evidence that GE foods could pose significant human health problems such as allergies and antibiotic resistance. Rather than interfere with Oregon's election process, Deputy Commissioner Crawford needs to work towards labeling genetically engineered foods as the public is demanding.
Please contact FDA Deputy Commissioner Crawford. Tell him to label genetically engineered foods!
