We also have the Right not to be lied to about what is in what we eat.

If GMO is in the food, we have the Right to choose to buy it or not. The corporations have no right to hide it from us. Just like they have to tell us if their is something that could cause a allergic reaction, they must be made to tell us this. We have the Right to know.
