March - Ban GMO Seeds!

 I'm sure the serious gardeners among you have started thinking about what you want to do with your garden this year. As GMOs are a very big topic to cover, I have decided to focus on just one element of it. GM seeds. I will probably cover additional elements in following months.

So, what even is GMO?  

GMOs ,or Genetically Modified Organisms, are plants or animals that have had a gene from another organism spliced into their genetic makeup. At this point in time we have cabbage with scorpion venom genes, oranges with pig genes, and corn with bacteria genes. Despite claims that GM crops are drought resistant and fine for your health, there is growing evidence of the exact opposite.  

  

Fluoride Video

 Here is an amazing video by Natural News. Natural News is an independent news network giving you the truth on many different issues occurring now. If you have children I'd advise you the parent to watch this first before showing it to them.

Whole Foods

 I have been contacting many companies about their fluoride content in food. Whole Foods so far stands out as a possible source of fluoride. I am unable to give an exact copy of the emails due to legality and I have no wish of being sued. The summary of the emails is that I asked if they used fluoridated water in their processing facilities as well as a full list of farms with their contact information. I also asked for a list of their processing facilities with their locations. They claimed that the volume of the requests were too great to answer. I emailed again telling them that their unwillingness to answer my questions show that they're hiding something. They finally revealed to me they have no rules regarding the use of fluoridated water in production of their products, but they are unable to share any vendor names or contact information. Obviously I am dissatisfied with this answer and frustrated that this large company is not required to disclose information about their food to us the consumers.

Products Containing High Levels Of Fluoride

 Here are two reports for you: one from 1998 and one from today. These were written by educated people and you can trust these numbers. Click here for the report from 1998 of all foods and beverages that contain fluoride and which we are exposed to everyday. For the most current list press here. I recommend you look at both links and compare the numbers. I'm sure you're wondering how to cut down on your fluoride intake when fluoride is in so many things.
