Dear Michele,

Drug-laced corn flakes for

breakfast? Fried chicken made from poultry raised on penicillin

for dinner? Do we really know what we’re eating?

Has the way America produces food gotten out of

control?

Biotech companies are planting

fields of corn, rice, and other food crops genetically

engineered to grow drugs, hormones, plastics, and chemicals.

Antibiotics are being fed to food animals that are not sick.

These practices can have devastating consequences for our

health, environment, and economy.

How much do you know about the

foods that line your kitchen shelves? Click

here to take our short quiz.

It will take strong

government oversight and active citizen participation to keep

our food safe. It will take the expertise, experience, and

leadership of the Union of Concerned Scientists. And it will

take the help of people like you.

UCS is spearheading the charge

to:

Increase public awareness

about practices that threaten our health and the safety of our

food;

Ban the genetic engineering

of food crops grown outdoors for the production of

pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals;

Pass legislation prohibiting

the non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in animal agriculture;

Promote practical, modern,

ways of producing food that maximize productivity and produce

healthier animals and meat—all without damaging our soil,

our water, and our air; and

Fight for your right to know

what’s in the foods you’re eating by improving food

labeling laws.

You can help our

efforts by taking our short

quiz and testing your own food

knowledge. Then help us raise awareness about these issues by

passing the quiz along to your friends and

family. Together, we can

really know what we’re eating—and be confident that

it’s safe for us, our families, and for our

planet.

Sincerely,

KnoblochPresident
