Corn on the Coffin

Corn on the Coffin

~Chris Rooney

“Because we aren’t certain about the effects of GMOs, we must consider one of the guiding principles in science, the precautionary principle. Under this principle, if a policy or action could harm human health or the environment, we must not proceed until we know for sure what the impact will be. And it is up to those proposing the action or policy to prove that it is not harmful.”
~David Suzuki

Below you can see what the impact of GMO's are....

print, and keep in wallet

I have been reading a lot on Monsanto and the hand they have in GM foods.  Most of our food, which I am sure many of you know, are filled with pesticides, preservatives and additives- even our fruits and veggies. A tomato is not just a tomato and "natural" food is far from what you and I think of as NATURAL.
Food in Europe "containing more than 0.9 percent G.M.O.’s must be labeled. G.E. products may grow faster, require fewer pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides, and reduce stress on land, water and other resources; they may be more profitable to farmers. But many of these claims are in dispute, and advances in conventional agriculture, some as simple as drip irrigation, may achieve these same goals more simply." Most of our food contains ingredients that are genetically engineered or modified.

Whole Foods 365 does not use Monsanto corn

our mattress' specify what they are made with, why not our food?

What are the affects of GM/GE foods? Death, allergies, bacterial illness,soil toxicity, and future dependency of GM/GE seeds and crops.

So what do we do? Join a local Co-Op!

Chris and I are looking into local farmer co-op's. 

Grains: can be bought at Taste Of Life store in Monument- grains, and more grains
Farmers Market: All over CS, ask each seller about their food 
Milk: Thanks for Melissa's recommendation we get the 1.5% milk. Its organic! It is costly to be considered "organic". "Royal Crest All Natural Milk equaled or exceeded organic milk products in independent laboratory tests"!
Eggs/Fruit and Veggies: You pay up front & receive seasonal produce. We are hoping to do the fall harvest and get a family size box.


I think there a million different causes to join and work against or for. Having a baby is one tiny push, along with many other things that have made me realize that I can make small changes in my life to live healthier and hopefully avoid sickness through food.
