GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS
The Truth About Labeling
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Tuesday, October 8th, Independent Women's Forum joins The Heritage Foundation for a panel discussion: Genetically Modified Foods: The Truth About Labeling. This dynamic panel discussion will examine the history and science of genetically modified foods (or GMOs), their current use and benefits, and why GMO labeling is not only unnecessary but would also do a disservice to consumers.
There is significant misinformation and confusion about GMOs, which now makes up a major part of the American diet. Anti-GMO activists are seeking to combat GMOs by pushing for labeling mandates on the state and federal levels. These mandates are being promoted as pro-consumer but their effect will be the opposite by creating greater misinformation.
