Lightbulb FRANKEN FOODS ~ Sign Up for the NO GMO CHALLENGE ~ C2C Show

Last night on Coast to Coast AM a very well presented plan to get rid of GMO's ( backwards ) in our food. I imagine it will be up on youtube soon or could someone add the link here if they find it first.

Thanks,

PaL


Appearing during the first half of the program, noted food expert Jeffrey M. Smith discussed how genetically engineered "Franken-foods" have become ubiquitous on everyone's dinner table.



Institute for Responsible Technology

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are the result of laboratory processes which artificially insert foreign genes into the DNA of food crops or animals. Those genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. GMOs are not safe, but have been in the food supply since 1996. Most Americans say they would not eat GMOs if labeled, but the U.S. does not require labeling.

The following information is a great way you can share with others who are in disbelief about the dangers of pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified foods:

The No GMO Challenge

Take the Challenge: No GMOs for 30 Days!

Happy Earth Day everybody, and welcome to the first day of the No GMO Challenge!

We’re thrilled to kick this off and looking forward to meeting everyone who joins the No GMO Challenge. This is a 30 day challenge to avoid all foods with GMOs. It’s a rolling challenge — you can join in anytime. You can also participate as long as you like. You don’t have to stop at 30 days.

What are GMOs?

GMOs - short for genetically modified organisms - are man-made organisms created in a laboratory and patented by a corporation or the USDA. GMOs are created by a process called genetic engineering.

GMOs are, hands down, the greatest environmental threat to our planet.
