Take Action: Protect Our Food

Did you know that with approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), biotech companies are planting fields of corn, rice, and other food crops genetically engineered to grow drugs and other chemicals?

The scary thing is that if the nation's food crops are contaminated in the process, we could wind up with corn flakes, taco shells, and many other common food items that are dangerous for us to eat.

The Union of Concerned Scientists and independent experts agree that if food crops are used to produce drugs and other chemicals, they are very likely to contaminate the food supply and pose serious human health and environmental risks for years to come.

How much do you know about the food you eat? You can test your knowledge by taking this short quiz:
