GMO Labeling not legally required in the U.S. - 0 views

  •  
    In the U.S. it is not legally required to label if a food has GMOs or not. Many other nations require such labeling. The fact that we do know know what our foods are made with or where they came from makes it impossible to make an educated decision on whether or not we want to purchase foods made with GMOs or not.
