  • food trigger

    I've recently been educating myself a lot more about the problems with GMO's (not just for human's - though that's a pretty significant issue in itself) and it' kind of scary that people in the US have the wool pulled over their eyes and don't seem to care because they want to just stick with what they have known (or at least they think they're still eating the same foods as when they were kids.)

    I wish people would consider the reasons why they now won't label GMO's; why other countries (including starving nations) are forbidding GMO foods too...

    GMOs have been scientifically linked to health problems. These problems include: 

    • infertility
    • organ damage 
    • certain cancers 
    • leaky gut 
    • autism 
    • autoimmune diseases 
    • allergies
    • birth defects 
    • inflammatory bowel diseases
    • learning disabilities
    • attention deficit disorders
    • accelerated aging
    • faulty insulin regulation

    ... and this list doesn't even mention the MULTIPLE environmental problems that GMO's cause.

    Sounds a little crazy to still buy & serve to our families, wouldn't you agree??  

    I hope more people would do some research and advocate that GMO's be banned from our foods in the US.

     

    In case you are interested - here are some facebook pages that are are against GMO's.  Some are a little more "extreme" than others - but I guess some people are a little more passionate about keeping our planet and their families alive than others.
