We know there is a lot of information to sort through. We hope the below links will help keep you up to date with the latest news on GMOs and toxins.
New GMOs are being developed all the time. A new tomato which kills the caterpillar which eats it is being considered by the FDA.

However, more research shows that GMOs are not what they are claimed to be.
The claim that GMOs are "substantially equivalent" to non GMO crops is simply not true.
See my latest article on a new paper by a team of distinguished scientists which shows that a GMO corn variety showed metabolic disturbances and the presence of chemicals which can be toxic. These finding prove that the moratorium of GMOs is completely justified.

Nor do GMOs work the way they are claimed to work.
GMO crops are becoming resistant to pests at alarming rates.
New research adds to evidence that the effectiveness of popular genetically engineered traits used to protect corn and cotton from insects is failing, putting U.S. corn production potential in jeopardy, and spurring a need for increased insecticide use.
Read Carey Gillam's article on GMO failures.
Hundreds of super weeds have built up a resistance to the most widely used herbicide, glyphosate, and the chemicals which are being used to replace glyphosate based herbicides are causing massive drift damage.
A peach farmer sues for crop damage:

The lawsuits are growing for wrongful death and cancer links to Roundup as well.
Please Let the FDA know that GMOs and toxins are NOT what we consider "healthy"!
The FDA is "redefining healthy" and they are getting ready to let food manufacturers off the hook again!

Let then know that organic food has been proven to be more nutritious:

GOOD NEWS: The UK now has an organic/biodynamic/permaculture conference that is TWICE as big as the conventional farming conference. Fantastic! We can't wait for that to happen here in the USA!!
And France has BANNED glyphosate in public greens! They will also NOT allow glyphosate use in backyards gardens by 2019!

We hope you had a great holiday season and if you make any resolutions this year that they include eating healthy organic food, getting out in nature, and spending time laughing with loved ones. Your health is the most important thing, without it, you cannot commit yourself to anything else!
Much Love and Gratitude for you!
Happy New Year!!!!
