Help Fight Genetically Modified Foods!!!


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.

Do you really know what's in your food??


Do you really know what's in your food??  Are you buying things that say they're healthy and natural when they're actually full of GMO'S??  Do you know what GMO'S are?  If not, here is an article by Naturopath Dr. Mercola. There is just so much going on in our world today and it really bothers me that there is so much junk in our health food!!  If you haven't heard any of this then I suggest youread Skinny Bitch or watch Food Inc.  I read Skinny Bitch a few years ago and that's what got me thinking and starting to change.  It can be hard to change over night but making little changes really isn't that hard.  Food Inc.  shows us what really is going on in on our farms thse days and it really scares me!  I don't want my kids to be eating foods loaded with chemicals that may cause infertility and cancer! 

Now... the point of this whole post was to share with you TrueFoodNow.org They have put together a list of NON - GMO foods!  You can either print it to keep with you, or download the app for your iPhone.  You would be surprised at how much of the food at your grocery store has GMO's!
I encourage you to check out the site and see where you can help keep our food safe!  Also check out the other links in this post to better educate yourself on what's in your food!!

Methyl iodide is so reliably carcinogenic that it’s used to induce cancer in the lab. Even so, Tokyo-based Arysta LifeScience Corporation is pushing for methyl iodide to be widely used outdoors. Arysta seeks approval for the use of methyl iodide as a soil fumigant - injected into the fields of communities across California and the United States.
This is an excpert from an article that is quite disturbing.  You can read the full article here and sign the petition to stop it!
