If the Wall Street bailout was hard to swallow, *the government is
preparing a Halloween trick* that just may be impossible to stomach.

The Food and Drug Administration is opening the way for grocery stores
to sell food made from genetically engineered animals. And the agency is
proposing that these products, called "Frankenfoods" by some, be sold to
you without your knowledge.

*demanding that food from genetically engineered animals be labeled.
* We have the right to know what we are eating!

Genetically engineered animals are not a far-off, exotic concept. It's
happening right now. Goats are engineered with spider genes to produce
silk in their milk. And pigs carry mouse and bacterial DNA to improve
their digestion.

*The jury is still out on whether food from these animals is safe for
humans or the environment.
* And the ethics of such changes have yet to be considered.

The FDA says they will conduct a safety review before these foods can be
sold for human consumption. But consumers won't know if they're buying
genetically engineered food, because the agency isn't going to require a
label.

We know what's in the can of soup we buy because the label tells us.
Shouldn't we know if the meat we buy comes from a pig with another
animal's genes, or whether our milk has insect DNA in it?

_Sign our petition and show the FDA that Americans want to know what's
in their food!

*We have until Nov. 18 to collect signatures. *Please forward this email
on to others so they can sign too. Let's stop this Halloween trick
before it starts.
