just say no



i know i am beyond passionate about this topic, but the importance of this particular subject cannot be downplayed. this is critical. we need to take control of our food supply NOW, before it is too late. even if you do not buy organic and have no plans to, you must understand the legislature that is threatening to take away that choice, and to force unresearched and harmful un-foods upon us.

i don't expect everyone to become a champion of local, organic, and beyond organic farming. but i cannot stand ignorance. it is the irresponsibility of ignorance that allows monsanto and others to foist this poison on our population. EDUCATE YOURSELF!

please watch this video.

then please TAKE ACTION and contact your congressmen and senators.

Wow -- that's a great arsenal of information, all in one place.

I often end up feeling quite beside myself when I think about how many decisions are made each day -- little decisions, but decisions which impact the very future of our food supply -- without a true understanding of what those decisions mean.

I feel strongly, not only about these issues, but also about the need for both ACCESS and education surrounding them. And sadly, the access issues are huge. We need a sea change... and I have to remember that even HUGE changes begin small.
