As many of you already know, I am very concerned about what we're feeding our families and the effect it is having and will have on their little bodies as they grow up. I can't say that I feed my family 100% Organic, but I try. The sad thing is, we can't trust anyone anymore and even when we think we're being healthy by giving our kids fruits and vegetables, we're not because it's coated with chemicals or it's genetically modified! Anyways, the point of this post is to let you all know that we can fight this!
This is from Organic Trade Association:
On January 27, the Obama Administration made the damaging decision to approve the unrestricted cultivation of genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa. This means GE alfalfa can be planted without any federal requirements to prevent contamination of organic and non-GE crops. It also means that GE alfalfa does not have to be labeled, making it difficult for consumers to identify and avoid. This decision, to support big business at the expense of individual choice, sets a precedent for future deregulation of GE crops although genetic engineering has not been conclusively proven safe. Don't stand by while well-funded and well-connected biotechnology interests are given the power to eliminate marketplace choice.
