We are what we eat....So why aren't we allowed to know what's in our food?

Over 70% of our food sold in grocery stores has genetically engineered food used as an ingredient. 

What is genetically engineered food?  

Genetically engineered food is food that has had foreign substances introduced into it's genetics, changing it's natural functions. Functions like built-in pesticides, drought resistance, and faster growth. These plants with these altered genes reproduce and spread to other farmer's crops. Even better, the big companies producing these Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have patents on these plants! When these seeds contaminate other crops, these big companies, such as Monsanto, sue these farmers for "infringing on their patent" and force them to destroy their crop seeds that have been developed for decades. 

  The FDA does NOT required testing of these types of foods because they are "considered" so close to normal food that they see no reason. These companies can due these studies voluntarily(which they don't). Surveys have shown that over 93% of consumers want to know when GMOs are used in the products they buy. The European Union Nations, Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries will NOT allow GMOs to be grown or sold in their market places. So what's stopping us here?

*sigh*....I could type all day about this, so just watch this.
