In hopes of bringing changes to food labels, marchers stopped at MOM's Organic Market off Route 1 on Friday on their way to the White House.

They have been traveling since Oct. 1 from Brooklyn, NY, and plan to reach their destination of Washington, D.C. this weekend.

The Right2Know March seeks to bring attention to products containing genetically modified organisms which, according to event organizers, are developed by pesticide companies.
