JUST SAY NO! TO GMO'S!

What is a GMO? It is a genetically modified organism. Big corporations such as Mansanto have literally taken over corn and soy because they have genetically modified them to be resistant to Roud UP fertilizer. Because they have genetically modified it, they were able to patent it and they now OWN it. What does this mean? Please watch The Future of Food to understand the ins and outs of it, but in short...it means that pretty much every darn thing you eat has genetically modified corn and soy in it. This is NOT good. There is no regulation of GMOs impact on long term health, but I think we are seeing some effects already. Look at all the chronic childhood disorders out there. Coincidence. I think not. It's in GERBER BABY FOOD!

Well, guess what else? Even if you wanted to say no to GMO, you wouldn't know what to say no to. There is no national policy that requires the labeling of GMOs on our food products. 

Here's what I can tell you. If you buy organic, You can guarantee there are no GMOs. I fed my first child Soy Infant Formula for her first year. Who knows how this impacted her dna. Sheesh!

Currently these are foods that are Genetically Modified in the US in 2010: 

93% Soy 

86% Corn 

93% Cotton 

93% Canola (Rapeseed) 

Now, I would like to quote Mansanto, 

"Mansanto should not have to vouchesafe the safety of biotech food, our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job"

-Phil Angel,

Director of Communications for Mansanto.

Well, too bad the FDA ain't doing a darn thing to regulate it!!!! If someone has a reaction to a genetically modified food, but it is not on the label then there is no way to trace it. 

Regulation is in your hands!!!

Just Say NO to GMOs! Buy Organic or from your local farmers!
