...and this is why i grow as much of my own food as possible. support your locals farmers & farmer's markets, shop smart & go organic, find co-ops, grow veggies in containers... and educate yourself on what your eating! organic food hasn't always been something 'unique' or 'over hyped' as some folks say...it's the way things used to always be. here is an 'excellent!' article that explains a lot about GMO's and their effects on us human folk....

we need a labeling system here in the states so we know what we are eating & supporting, but with big names like these against it, no wonder it's been in & out of legislation since 1998 with no luck. so...it's up to you to know what your eating.  not sure about you, but i don't wanna be their guinea pig, or my family.  yikes, stripes.

pretty scary. check out our latest corn, too....... scares the heck out of me to think about the effects of high-fructose corn syrup not just on us as humans, but our children!! they have no idea about this stuff and look to us, their parents, friends, family, teachers.. to feed them whole foods that nurture the body & mind, and are kind to the environment.

here's another good article on how we haven't needed to worry about this kinda stuff till recent history...
