Instructions: Now that your group has decided on an issue, you must demonstrate that there is a problem. You will turn in this research sheet completed with two articles attached that you showed that there is a problem

I. There is a problem in society today. That problem is: That consumers are not being told **EXACTLY** what they are eating, or what their children are eating. The food industry is not telling the whole truth. They are violating a consumers right to information. Food prices may increase but that shouldn't be too much of a big deal considering that we would be informing the people what they are actually consuming and/or feeding to their families. With no labels people have no idea what is in their food and it could be possible that someone who eats tomato but the tomato has some kind of oil in it that a person has already eaten, but now with this new gm tomatoes in place of the original ones, then said person eats the tomato and has an alergic reaction and gets ill. This fate could been avoided if there were a label saying **EXACTLY** in the food/tomato.

II. Facts that demonstrate that there is a problem are:As much as 80% of the foods found in a typical American supermarket contain at least one ingredient created from genetically engineered crops. (Two articles and bibliography must be attached)
