More on GMOs

Yesterday I encouraged you to boycott companies that contributed to defeating Prop 37.
Today a new list of companies came to my attention. 

At the Right to Know blog you will find a listing of food manufacturers and seed companies with the contributions they made to defeat Prop 37.

I hope to inspire you to take action. 

We can request the right to know what is in our food, how it is grown and whether it is a product we as consumers want to purchase.

Understand that we can create a safe food system where we do know what is in the products we purchase and the whole foods we eat.

Please take action. 

Boycott products that supported the defeat of the bill and let these companies know why you have stopped buying them. Talk to the manager of the stores that you buy your food. Hand them the list of companies and let them know that you will boycott the food that comes from these companies.

Are you Serious about Labeling GMO Foods?

It has been a long while since I posted a blog. I hope that someone is will read this.
Please  let me know if you are out there.

It is time to take action and demand that GMO labels become mandatory in the USA; our health and the health of many generations is at risk. Please watch Genetic Roulette, a movie documenting the health issues that animals and humans are experiencing due to unlabeled GMO foods. I ask those of you who followed the recent labeling campaign in California a basic question,

        Did we need to go to the ballet box to have BPA free put on our canned foods? 
        How about these labels? 
Contains Peanuts, Processed where nuts are processed, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Fat Free or Soy Free?  

      So why are millions of dollars refuting the request to label  GMO foods?

Below is a list of the companies that financially funded to lobby against California Prop 37, requiring the labeling of some, not all, GMO foods. Contact them and ask them why they funded the defeat of Prop 37. Let them know that

1. WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN OUR FOOD. LABELING IS OUR RIGHT.

2. UNTIL PROVEN BY THIRD PARTY STUDIES, WE DO NOT AGREE THAT GMO FOODS ARE SAFE FOR EVERYONE AND/OR THE ENVIRONMENT.

I urge you to write the companies that funded the fight against GMO labeling and let them know that you will boycott their products.
 
Please consider boycotting the organic subsidiaries of these larger companies.

The list of brands we love that are directly funding the campaign against labeling products with GMOs.
