If you like Organic / GMO-Free foods... TOO BAD!

Thanks to Aaron for sending me this rather horrifying link:

Racing Toward a Roundup-Ready Food Future

Here's an excerpt:

We might, as American eaters, still be having a healthy debate about whether we want to eat genetically-engineered corn, soybeans, and other foods. But the USDA data shows that our farmland is much farther along in making up its mind.

The REALLY frightening thing:

The spread of GMO foods in America

So, friends, if this issue is important to you, get vocal about it! As consumers, we have more power than we know - we just have to use it & let our friends and families know what's going on.

1. Vote with your forks: Support food producers who produce & label their foods "GMO Free" like Amy's:

GMO-Free Food Label

2. Talk to your friends about GMOs - learn more here

3. Take the "Replace Roundup" challenge to help divert revenue from Monsanto - one of the key players in the GMO marketplace - we've already diverted over $100,000!

Leave a comment here to let us know how YOU'RE fighting GMO's and making food choices that support local communities and GMO-free foods.
