"GMO; Healthy for Who?" Revised

Many consumers are unaware of the genetically modified foods they ingest, the health risks that accompany them, and ways to avoid such foods in their daily meal plans.  It is the large food corporations that manipulate state legislation to adhere to their wanted standards rather than the consumer when it comes to these GMO foods.  

The leading example of corporate manipulation is the large controversy over labeling foods that contain GMO products.  Currently there are no states that require such labeling, but that is not for lack of effort as demonstrated by the on going battle in California for the passing of Proposition 37.

It is my greatest hope; not only as a consumer, but also as a developing health professional to propose a change in the way the manufactures and distributers of our food supply control us consumers.  I firmly believe that there is a given right to free selection regarding the foods in which consumers have to choose from.  In that inherent right is the obligation of food production to be focused on the greater health of the very consumers in which it nourishes. 

Through this hope; my web text will display the harms, ethical oversights, and importance of factual food labeling to the consumer regarding GMO foods.  I will accomplish this with science based research and today's major food corporation policies that demonstrate a clear disregard for consumer health.  

The primary audience I hope to reach is as many consumers as possible.  Realistically, however, my goal for this web text is to give the consumers of Purdue Calumet University a place to voice their options and concerns allowing for a professional forum to make those voices be heard.  Perhaps even possibly make a significant change in the way local NW Indiana consumers view the foods they are eating.
