Depending on who you are and where your interests lie, there are several action steps you care take to educate yourself and contribute to the effort to get labeling on genetically engineered foods. We all fall into one or more of the following five categories:

Consumers: Everyone should be concerned with how our foods are grown and prepared. While we don't all need to become political activists, we should all take some action to help get genetically engineered foods labeled.

Activists: Want to do more? Become a local leader in your city and state. Recruit others through organizing local meetings and seminars. Collect signatures on form letters at public events and fairs.

Retailers: Natural food stores and other progressive retail outlets are in a position to distribute a great deal of information to the public. All retailers are invited to join us as Retail Sponsors.

Companies: Many companies are opposing the use of genetically engineered ingredients in their products. Companies with organic ingredients should fight to protect their products from contamination by cross pollination from genetically engineered crops.

Media: If you are with the media, we invite you to get news about this important subject out to an unaware public. Educated consumers will elect government officials that will properly regulate genetically engineered foods.

Action Steps for each category:

Consumers:

Read literature:
1) Genetically Engineered Food & Your Health
2) Genetically Engineered Food & the Environment
3) Why Label Genetically Engineered Foods?
