Local businesses are joining the fight for proper food labeling this October. On Saturday, October 12, Health Foods by Claudia will donate five percent of their daily sales toward the Non-GMO Proj- ect, a non-profit organization whose focus is educating the public about GMOs in our food supply. Five percent of sales will be proceeds from a raffle. Customers can do their part to donate by purchasing a tote bag filled with non-GMO’s, with 100 percent of the proceeds from each tote going to Label the Truth Ohio, a non-profit organization, coordinated by Claudia David-Roscoe, co-owner of Health Food’s by Claudia. Label the Truth wants to pass a constitutional amendment in the 2014 Ohio general election that would require GMO foods to be labeled. The amendment needs 600 thousand sig- natures to reach the ballot. “We are here to educate, inspire and to take action,” Claudia says. Check out labelthetruth.org for more information on how to be a part of this movement.
