Ozone layer or cheese in a can..don't make me choose.


The population is growing every minute,and that means feeding more people.
That also means the quality of food we eat will have an affect on our health.
How does one know if the food they are purchasing is organic or genetically modified.
Just because a label mentions organic,does not mean it is natural.
A label that is naturally organic must have a label mentioning it is certified.
It is up to the consumer to educate themselves ,and to look closely at the labels.
Most foods ought to be produced to important standards depending from which country it is originating from.
Organic food has become a major issue, since there is an importance to know what is in our food.
Are genetically modified foods just as healthy and help feed the world's population.
Companies such as Monsanto are illustrating that they claim to feed the world ,but are bullying farmers and buying their seeds. Meanwhile agree to genetically modify our food system,risking our health in the process.
If we respect our farm producers who grow organic food,we also respect what we eat as well.

So remember to support your local farmers.
I am sure they would be grateful for your support.
Talk to your local M.P or senator in congress and voice your opinion about the importance of certified organic food or sign the Millions Against Monsanto petition.

Here are some following links for moe information on organic food and organizations.
