When it comes to genetically engineered foods, there’s so much that we don’t know and I’m not interested in being part of a further human experiment. What we DO KNOW is scary (and has caused food companies in other countries to ban these foods) – digestive issues, allergies, infertility and more unfavorable health impacts. In the Huffington Post, I recently compared GMOs to 2nd and 3rd-hand smoke – and think how long it took us to reach a tipping point against the effects of others’ smoking on us. Food (as opposed to geneticall engineered food) for thought, eh?

Compliments Ashley for your initiative and efforts in this important cause.
The green revolution that appeared so promising decades ago has taken many people towards poor nutrition and health –while profitting several multinational agribusiness corporations.
Sadly, the economics and lack of awareness have resulted in many Americans buying & consuming foods detrimental to health, rather than buying organics which are healthier and produced in methods gentler on the planet.
It’s encouraging that many organics are becoming more affordable for more people. Also, many people are cutting back on other expenditures to afford organics and are leaning towards diets less meat based.
Best wishes for successful event at FNCE.
I’m retired so won’t attend, but I care greatly.
Thank you for your kind, insightful words. There’s lots of work to be done but I learned early in that companies DO respond to consumer pressure so vote with your purchases!
Thanks! Hope to see you there and if not please email rsvp anyway and let them know to send you the info+goodies post fnce
