Guest guest Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi All! This is OT, but VERY important as the election approaches! As a parent of a recovered autistic child (after nine hard years, thanks Stan for the help in the early years!), I am really concerned about GMO. We need to help California pass prop 37, the bill that will require GMO (genetically modified organisms) ingredients to be labeled on all foods! Do we not have the right to know WHAT is in our food? We have been guniea pigs for too long, and it is crime that Amercians are being lied to. Over 60 other countries require mandatory labeling of GMO ingredients, so WHY doesn't America? Monsanto, Pepsi Corporation, and many other large companies have spent close to $40 million to stop prop 37 from passing, so we NEED YOUR HELP! If prop 37 passes when California votes next week, then other states will be able to pass similar legislation to label GMO's...hopefully the first important step in the fight against GMO in our food and grocery stores. What are GMO's? Basically scientists are taking the genes from one species and forcing them into the DNA of another species. Things like forcing human genes into corn to create spermacide have been done! Cow genes into pigs, fish genes into tomatoes to make them bigger and not go bad, much bigger, fatter chickens, and many more horrifying science experiments with HUMANS being the inevitable guinea pig! GMO's have never been tested for long term health issues, and when people shop at the grocery store they have no idea what they are eating because labeling is not required! How is that possible? http://www.carighttoknow.org/. You can help by donating to this organization,or by signing up to call California voters and pursuade them to vote YES on prop 37 next week. http://action.ewg.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=1997 & amp;tag=20120\ \ 9CAGMO37NatEmail & amp;utm_source=201209cagmo37natemail & amp;utm_medium=email & amp;u\ \ tm_content=first-link & amp;utm_campaign=food.

For more general information on what GMO's are, the following documentaries are great: http://seedsofdeception.com/dvdcd/gmo-trilogy/ http://thefutureoffood.com/. The Future of Food - great, informative movie! http://onemanonecow.com/gmo-movie.php. Biodynamic farming (what we hope to do!) http://www.takepart.com/foodinc/film Food, Inc. (movie) - one of the best! http://geneticroulettemovie.com/ Genetic Roulette movie - great one! TAKE Action NOW and make a stand! This is our food, and we have the right to know what is in it! Pass this along to everyone you know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
