A. Introduction

      Different people have varying concerns regarding the presence of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in the human food supply.  Some are concerned about the possible negative health and/or environmental effects of continual consumption of GMOs.  For those people I suggest googling Jeffrey Smith or "Genetic Roulette".
       Other people simply want to opt out of the GMO experiment being imposed on American consumers by international corporations like Monsanto and Syngenta.  As of June, 2014, people in the U.S., could circumvent GMO consumption by avoiding the following foods and ingredients made from these foods (for example corn oil/syrup) unless they were certified organic:
1. Corn
2. Soybeans
3. Sugar beets and sugar from sugar beets
4. Cotton seed meal or oil
5. Dairy milk
6. Aspartame (created with GM bacteria)
7. Yellow crookneck squash
8. Zucchini
9. Papaya
10. Alfalfa
11. Canola
12. Any product from an animal fed with GMOs
There is also a non-GMO Shopping Guide that can be downloaded from www.responsibletechnology.org.   

         This GMO Right to Know Info Packet is for those of us who care about basic human rights.  People who can't afford to choose organic should still have the right to know what they are eating.  The packet is designed to inform the reader of the following:
--A very basic understanding of Genetic Engineering.
--An understanding of the alleged reasons why powerful economic interests oppose labeling of
GMO content in food.
--An understanding of why labeling of GMOs in food should be required by law.
--A knowledge of what concerned consumers can do to defend their right to know.
