There is an organization — “The Center for Food Safety” – that has done some great work on the behalf of all those that want natural, wholesome foods to eat.
In the past year alone, they have:
<ul>
<li>Won a major federal court victory that stopped the planting of a new genetically engineered crop – Roundup Ready alfalfa – for the first time in history; </li>
<li>Halted risky field tests growing experimental drug crops (pharmacrops) in open fields through other federal court victories;</li>
<li>Defended the organic standards from numerous threats by agribusiness to weaken them;</li>
<li>Generated over 145,000 comments to FDA from people opposing milk and meat from cloned animals in our food supply;</li>
<li>Won the passage of the Mikulski-Specter amendment in the Senate version of the Farm Bill demanding further testing of food from cloned animals before FDA allows such products on the market;</li>
<li>Fought for and won a ban on animal cloning in organic production;</li>
<li>Successfully pressured Congress to remove language in the Farm Bill that would have eliminated the rights of states and local governments to regulate genetically engineered crops;</li>
<li><font size=”3″>Pressured FDA to maintain strong and accurate labels on irradiated foods.</li>
</ul>
