Current Controversies and Action Initiatives

Just Say NO to GE Salmon - Coming soon to a dinner plate near you, Frankenfish! AquAdvantage salmon are genetically engineered to produce growth hormones year-round, creating a fish that the company claims grows at twice the normal rate.

Without conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment, the FDA has announced that it will potentially approve AquAdvantage salmon as the first genetically engineered (GE) animal intended for human consumption. They're counting on approving the GE salmon as a 'drug,' making it infinitely easier to pass through. The FDA is not even opening up for comments about its speedy approval of this new food, instead it's holding a short comment period about the LABELING of this salmon.

We cannot let this slip by us. It's time to raise hell. We don't need faster growing salmon. We need to protect our health, environment and precious biodiversity.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), a long-time advocate of family farmers and organic foods, introduced three bills that will provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for all GMOs. These bills will ensure that consumers are protected, food safety measures are strengthened, farmers' rights are better protected and biotech companies are responsible for their products. Take action now and tell your senators and President Obama to support these extremely important bills.

Tell Congress to label GMOs - With Monsanto's genetically modified crops and chemicals threatening public health and the environment, not to mention the next generation's reproductive capacity, we need to raise a furor and demand that the insanity stop by mandating the labeling of GMO foods. Of course Monsanto opposes this but it is our right to know where our food is coming from. Take action HERE.
