Food Labeling Persuasive Speech

As someone who has been employed in Michigan for 12 years, I am very concerned about the cost of food rising. The cost of groceries rises constantly, yet the average pay of American citizens stays the same. In a well-meaning attempt, individual states are trying to regulate food labels that use the terms GMO-free or all natural because we currently have no national standards to define these terms. Unfortunately, because of the states' attempt to protect consumers, we are at risk of seeing our food prices increase even more. While I commend the states for trying to solve the problem, they will only add confusion and increase prices in stores. This is why I am asking you to join me in supporting the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015.
