Your Peacefield Farm farmers went to a farm conference this past weekend at MSU in Lansing. It’s called the Michigan Organic Conference (MOC); we’ve attended several years now. And we never walk away empty-handed. That was especially so this year. The conference theme this year was about GMO & non-GMO food.
It made us sit up and take note. Previously, we had not paid too much attention to GMO’s in food, thinking it wasn’t all that bad. But, boy, did we get a wake up call.
GMO’s are in four basic foods: corn, cotton, soy and canola. And, of course, those GMO’s are in all the food products made from those four basic foods.
Monsanto is the largest company that supports GMO’s; they have the biggest staff of researcher’s and attorney’s who are working 24/7 to get Roundup Ready or Bt into corn, cotton, soy or canola.
What can you do?
There is an organization called the Center for Food Safety that is THE ONE SOURCE in America for the fight against GMO in your foods. Their web site is True Food Now
They are a non-profit and you’ll see by looking at their site that they are everywhere trying to rid GMO’s from our food.
You can help by writing Congress-persons about GMO’s in your food at Write My Congressman
