Safe Food and Farm Lobby Day

And we too!

So, NYSAGE is planning another lobby day.

Last June we organized Future of Food Lobby Day in Albany.
On Wed.,Feb 8, 2006 we will co-sponsor Safe Food and Farm Lobby Day with farmers of NOFA-NY (www.nofany.org)

Let’s spread the word that genetically engineered food is:

  • Not tested or regulated by our government
  • Not labeled to show engineered genes or warn of unpredictable consequences
  • Not able to be contained or recalled when problems occur

Let’s avoid these genetically engineered foods:

  • Milk with unlabeled growth hormone
  • Soy, and also soy lecithin in many baked and processed foods (80% US soy is GE)
  • Corn and most processed foods with corn starch and sweeteners (40% corn is GE)
  • GE corn, licensed by the EPA as a pesticide, has a toxin-producing gene in each cell.
  • Zucchini, papaya, canola & cotton seeds oils, etc. (See www.responsibletechnology.org)
  • Non-GE foods are at risk from cross-contamination as the biotech food industry grows.
