Are you a conscious consumer? Do you care about bio-diversity and living a sustainable lifestyle?
If yes, please contact your Federal Member of Parliament and tell him or her that you expect him or her to support the very important Bill C-517, An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (mandatory labelling for genetically engineered foods) which will make it a legal requirement for all food containing genetically engineered ingredients to be labelled as such.
The Bill will also make it necessary for our government to maintain a list of food suppliers and manufacturers who sell GE food, and to make that list available electronically and free of charge to all Canadian citizens.
For more details, please visit BlogHers ACT Canada, where you will find information about why genetically engineered foods are bad and instructions for how to contact your MP to make your voice heard.
