Cohesion

“I will be writing a policy paper about which certain types of [GMO] products should be @[labeled], and the basis for the requirements of labeling. I will focus on the strictness of the labeling policy, which @[products] are @[covered] in the policy, which ingredients are covered, when the labeling requirements are triggered. I will also discuss whether restaurants should be required to follow this procedure, what the labels should say, and how the companies will verify whether the products have GMOs or not. I will support this by using documents that prove that GMOs should be labeled. @[Moreover], I will talk about why all ingredients should be covered, @[with the exception of] preservatives and additives. I will use statistics and data from current policies in other countries and find reasons as to why products have to have a certain percentage of GMOs to be considered genetically modified. I will find data to support why restaurants should be excluded from this, @[as well as] why products should say "Does contain GMOs" @[as opposed to] "May contain GMOs". @[For example], many products that claimed to be free of GMOs were actually found to have GMOs, I will discuss a third party company will have to test the GMOs. I will need to find more sources, but I will definitely be able to use the articles I already have.”
Most of my sentences use parallelism so if i marked it, my post would be flooded with @[...].

This exercise made me realize that I need to use more cohesive devices in my writings.
