So-Called "Natural" Food Companies Against Truth In Labeling Of Food- What You Need To Know.

Please consider boycotting the below named companies.

They are donating money to defeat Proposition 37 in California, a ballot initiative which SUPPORTS the Truth in Labeling of Our Food. 

If this ballot passes, food manufacturers will begin changing their ways to help make our foods safer, less confusing, and more transparent.  Proposition 37 is designed to improve labeling practices and discourage misleading marketing tactics.

Want more info? Read this to find out why you should support Proposition 37.

Please donate just $5 today. If you can give more please do. This is an historic initiative! If our food requires labeling- this means that you will KNOW that a food your buying is genetically modified or not.  We deserve the choice- so that we can make educated decisions on what we eat and feed our families. 
If you own a business, whether it's in the natural health field or NOT, Please consider endorsing Proposition 37. Add your name to the list- It Feels Good!

Truth in Labeling GMO Foods Gains Traction: Scientific Proof of RNA's Effect on Organ Function Makes a Mark!

This is a picture of wheat, which has been heavily hybridized in the last 50 years, making it very different than what we have evolved to eat. Can you say Celiacs Disease??

I'd like you all to take a look at this website started to promote what's called "truth in labeling" in food for Michigan.

This campaign needs support to gain traction towards the creation of legislation.  It's an expensive, time consuming processes in which influence in politics comes into play a great deal. Not MY cup of tea; BUT a necessary hurdle to jump to get these important measures turned into law. Other states are beginning this process as with the state of Washington.  There state senator Maralyn Chase is sponsoring a bill to get truth in labeling signed into law. 

Truth in labeling means just that; we have the RIGHT to know what is in our food and where it comes from. Especially with regard to Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's). GMO's are foods such as corn, soy, cottonseed, canola, sugar beets and recently sweet corn, that are physically injected with genetic DNA/RNA from other species that would NEVER occur in nature. They take bacteria, virus and pesticides and genetically encode THOSE into our foods too.
