Who wants to keep us in the dark about what we're eating?

Who wants to keep us in the dark about what we're eating? The most vocal opponents of GMO labeling are the corporations that benefit from GMOs – the chemical companies that sell the GMO seed and chemicals to farmers, and the junk food manufacturers and retailers that sell the resulting GMO "food" …

Toddlers do not eat much. Try using an ice tray to satisfy their bird-like appetites and for a fun, unique presentation. Be sure to throw in plenty of healthy choices like berries, peas, corn, cheese, cucumber, etc.

Red 40 Food Dye - One of the Most Common Complaints

Red 40 food dye is one of the dyes that receive the most numbers of complaints. In children it has been linked to hyperactivity disorders, and in adults it has been known to trigger migraines (Source: Red40.com). Its molecular structure is quite similar to Yellow 6, a food dye that has been accused of causing kidney tumors.
Yellow 5 Food Dye - Hyperactivity?
Another food dye that the Center for Science in the Public Health wants to ban is Yellow 5, also known as tartrazine, because of its strong association with hyperactivity in children, as well as causing hives in other individuals. (Although most of the studies have focused on the effects of food dye in children, do you really want to put these food dyes in your body as an adult, either?)
Where can you find Yellow 5? It turns out it is common in breakfast cereals, jellos, drink powders, candy, ice cream, pudding, and even pasta. more info: http://voices.yahoo.com/food-dye-food-know-re-eating-1971005.html

Why I Can't Raise a $1 Cheeseburger

some times i question to myself why i spend $ 9.99 a pkg of 3 hamburgers to feed my family..Now I definitely know why!! If more and more people get involved and eat locally made/organic grass fed animals I really do feel like the price will go down. Don't you want to know whats in your food!

Why I Can't Raise a $1 Cheeseburger How can we really know what's 'expensive' or 'cheap' until we recognize that grass-fed and grain-fed beef are distinctly different products? Here, a professional farmer redefines the term 'Value Meal.'

Blacklisted: GMO Supporting Food Companies to Avoid

this is way its important to know where you shop. I highly recommend shopping at Berkshire Organics because they are trying to help us make a difference and be aware of what we eat!

Blacklisted: GMO Supporting Food Companies to Avoid Many of the products that seem so good are actually just subsidiaries of the companies that were most complicit in blocking GMO labeling. Some of the quietly owned subsidiaries may surprise you!
