What is GE? What is it Used For The Dangers! Organic Foods GE and You About This Site Contact			Consumer Polls Campaign for Food Safety News #20 alliance@mr.net http://www.purefood.org The biotechnology industry understands quite well that consumer polls over the past ten years show that 80-90% of Americans support mandatory labeling, and that over 60%, if foods were clearly labeled, would try to avoid buying GE products. The reason that there isn't more of a controversy yet in the USA is because almost half of all consumers falsely believe that there aren't any GE foods (except for dairy products with rBGH) on the market. A 1999 study by the International Food Information Council, a government and industry-funded group, found that 47% of Americans believe that there aren't any genetically engineered foods on the market yet. The Public Needs to Know This is exactly why this site has been created! If the public only knew of the many foods already being genetically engineered, and how much they're already eating, they could make well informed choices. Once they know about the food they're eating, and the possible dangers, they can learn how to get GE foods labeled, and what to do to stop it all together. If you are part of the uninformed half of the population, or just want to know more about the dangers of genetic engineering and the benefits of organic foods, you've come to the right place!  Please send all feedback to ge_is_evil@hotmail.com © 1999 ThinkQuest Team 25365.
