Before Your Senators Vote...Urgent.
Do you want to know if the food you feed your family has been genetically engineered?
I know I sure do. If you're with me, then EWG needs your help today. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) has introduced an amendment to the 2013 farm bill that would, for the first time ever, demonstrate Senate support for labeling of foods with genetically engineered ingredients.
We must hurry - the Senate will start voting on farm bill amendments any day now! Make sure your senators hear from you before they vote - take action right now.

Genetically engineered ingredients can be found in most of America's processed foods. About 88 percent of field corn is genetically engineered. Not to mention that 90 percent of all soybeans and more than 90 percent of canola seeds grown in the U.S. come from genetically engineered seeds.
There are few issues that unite Americans as much as their desire to know what's in their food. More than 1 million Americans have petitioned the Food and Drug Administration with that demand - the most in FDA history. Polling shows that 93 percent of consumers want to know if their food contains genetically engineered ingredients.
This is our chance to show Senate support for labeling foods with genetically engineered ingredients. Take action today!
