Labeling Persuasive Speech
I am writing to you today about the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act. I'm hoping that you will put your full support behind this bill, promoting clarity for consumers and helping to prevent unnecessary cost increases at the grocery store.
It is extremely important to me that the food I purchase is safe. The FDA has long been in charge of that, and we trust their labels. Now we have products with are labeled "natural" or "GMO-free", but what does that mean? We know that foods labeled "organic" have all met the same list of criteria. Regardless of where we are in the US, the definition of that label is the same. Why not do the same with the terms "natural" or "GMO-free"? Currently, some states are beginning to create their own labeling definitions
