One of the arguments the pro GM advocates use in trying to prevent labeling is that the label would harm sales of items that are labeled as GMO.  A recent study debunks this statement and actually strengthens the demographic already favoring GM foods.   To see the study, click here – http://www.reformer.com/latestnews/ci_28567668/consumers-dont-see-gmo-labels-deterrent-buying-foods

SunRidge Farms supports GMO labeling.

The US House of Representatives is on track for a vote this week on the DARK Act.  Here’s what this legislation would do –

The “Denying Americans the Right-to-Know” (DARK) Act would:

• Preempt states from requiring labeling of GMO food.
• Preempt states from regulating GMO crops to protect public health and the environment.
• Virtually eliminate FDA’s ability to craft a national GMO labeling system.
• Codify the current, broken voluntary labeling system.
• Create a GMO “safety” review system based on industry science.
• Allow “natural” foods to contain GMO ingredients.

Americans want the Right to Know:

• Polls show 90% of Americans support labeling of GMO food.
• Bogus “natural” claims have created enormous consumer confusion about GMOs.
• 64 nations require labeling including Russia, China, the EU, and important trading partners in Asia.
• More than 1.4 million Americans have joined a petition urging FDA to require labeling of GMO food.
• Hundreds of food companies urged President Obama to honor his pledge to require GMO labeling.

Dispelling GMO Labeling Myths:

• GMO labeling will not increase food prices.  Companies frequently change labels to highlight new innovations.
• Voluntary labeling will not work. Companies have been allowed to make voluntary non-GMO disclosures since 2001, but consumers are more confused than ever.
• GMO crops do not feed the world. Conventional
  
  and GMO corn and soybean yields have increased at the same rate. What’s
  
  more, U.S. farmers produce only 4% of rice, wheat, fruits, and
  
  vegetables, and most US corn and soybeans are used for animal feed and
  
  ethanol, not food.
• GMO crops have increased herbicide applications. Expanding
  
  the use of GMO crops has increased annual applications of glyphosate – a
  
  probable human carcinogen – from 16 million pounds to more than 280
  
  million pounds.
• GMO crops have led to more toxic herbicides. As
  
  weeds have become resistant to glyphosate, farmers have turned to more
  
  toxic weed killers linked to cancer, Parkinson’s disease and
  
  reproductive problems.
• GMO crops have not reduced soil erosion.
  
  Adoption of soil-conserving farm practices were made in response to
  
  “conservation compliance” provisions of the 1985 Farm Bill, not GMO
  
  crops.

Americans need to tell their members of Congress to stop the DARK Act

from becoming law and demand support for mandatory GMO labeling.  Contact your US Representative TODAY!! 

SunRidge Farms supports mandatory GMO labeling because we believe you should know what is in your food.

Anti-GMO labeling interests received a boost when a House of Representatives committee voted to push a measure to the full House that would make it illegal for local and State governments to implement their own GMO labeling rules.  Here’s the latest on this issue – read more

SunRidge Farms supports the elimination of GMO’s and the mandatory labeling of the use of GMO’s in food.  There is rhetoric on both sides of the battle so we urge you to research and involve yourself in better understanding the foods you eat.

In the last four years alone, industrial food and chemical corporations have set up six new

front groups who often appear as independent experts in the media, but

are in fact made up of industry or PR professionals. These groups push

coordinated industry messages in order to win critical national policy

battles and convince consumers about the safety of industrial food.

Why don’t they fight the battle under their own names??  Here’s a detailed report that shows the tactics and the money spent to try and stop consumers increasing demand for organic and NonGMO foods rather than spend that money working towards more sustainable agriculture.  http://www.foe.org/projects/food-and-technology/good-food-healthy-planet/spinning-food

What won’t you find in SunRidge Farms products?  Trans Fat!  That’s been our way for over 30 years as we knew trans fats were not healthy.  Beginning in 2018 food companies will have to apply with the FDA before they can use trans fats in any products.  The FDA says now that the ingredient should no longer be assumed to be safe.  Here’s the full story from The USA Today – http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/06/16/fda-bans-trans-fats/28801537/
