TO: dblback Readers in the State of Illinois
CC: Bob Mariano, CEO, Roundy’s Supermarkets
SUBJECT: GMO labeling in grocery stores
DATE: 4/12/2014
MoveOn.org is launching a campaign to show grocery chains, like Mariano’s, that their customers want GMO labeling, and persuade them to follow the lead of other grocery stores like Whole Foods. There are many political battles to be fought out there but this one is a no brainer. Our bodies demand fuel (food) to run. The higher quality fuel we add to our bodies the better outcomes we can expect to have. Although GMO foods may serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things, this is NOT that fight. Simply put, sellers of food should be required to label their foods appropriately. Mariano’s is held with high regard in Illinois as a fine retailer. This step toward GMO labeling would only embolden their brand more.
This effort is being headed up by Andre Delattre.
We have a right to know what’s in the food we buy, so we can make healthy, responsible, and informed choices about what we’re eating. Sign this petition to Roundy’s CEO Bob Mariano and ask him as a customer to label GMOs in store-brand products.
That’s why I signed a petition to Bob Mariano, CEO, Roundy’s Supermarkets, which says:
“I support GMO labels. Mariano’s should take the lead in Illinois and start labeling store-brand products that contain GMOs. Consumers have a right to make healthy, responsible, and informed choices about the food we eat. ”
