Subject: Moms want labels for Mother's Day
Moms have a right to know what they feed their families.
Ask a mom in your life to contact the FDA and help us reach 1.2
million
supporters by Mother's Day!
Dear Dorothy,
My youngest daughter's face began to swell shut at breakfast one day –
and I had no
idea why. We were only eating waffles, scrambled eggs, and tubes of blue
yogurt...so what
was happening to her?
Before my daughter had a violent allergic reaction that morning, I
honestly hadn't
given a lot of thought to what I fed my kids. I mean, if it was on grocery
store shelves, it
was all the same, right?
But since then, like so many moms, I learned that there are all kinds of
new
ingredients in our foods that weren't in what we ate as kids. That's why we
need labels.
More than one million people like you have already contacted the FDA in
support of
labeling genetically engineered foods – and now we're so close to a new
milestone. Help
ratchet up the pressure on the FDA by getting us to 1.2 million supporters by
Mother's Day.
Forward this short video loaded with data to some of the moms in your
life. Urge them
to sign Just Label It's petition to the FDA before May 13.
Why moms? Because what we want is simple: information to keep our kids
healthy. That's
why so many of us pay attention to labels, and why I shared my story in this
video filmed by
the writer and director of Food, Inc. We have a right to know what we are
feeding our kids,
like moms in other countries already have. It's a simple Mother's Day request
to the FDA:
mandate labels for GMOs.
And the time is now. All kinds of changes are happening to our food
supply: from meat
fillers that we didn't know were in there to a salmon that has been genetically
engineered
to produce growth hormones year-round that cause the fish to grow at twice its
natural rate.
We need more people to contact the FDA to demand the right to know what we are
eating.
Moms have a right to know what they feed their families. Help us reach
1.2 million
supporters by Mother's Day – ask a mom in your life to contact the FDA today.
If more of us speak out this month, we'll show the FDA that moms and
others across
America want to know how their food is produced. Please, watch this video, and
then share it
with at least one mom today.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. Together, we can affect
remarkable change.

We're building a movement of concerned citizens – parents, health care
workers, small
business owners, farmers, and more – who care about what's in the food we eat.
In October 2011, the Just Label It campaign was formed when the Center
for Food Safety
filed a petition with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to require the
labeling of all
foods produced using genetic engineering. Days later, we asked citizens from
around the
country to join us and tell the FDA to "Just Label It." More than 1.1 million
Americans have
contacted to the FDA urging them to label genetically engineered foods. Ask
others to sign
on at www.JustLabelIt.org/takeaction.
