Are you being poisoned by what you eat?
We live in a dangerous world. When most of us think of danger the mind goes to violent criminals or unsafe situations that can harm us. We don't think about the bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, the fresh strawberries from the market or the kale you put in your smoothie. Sadly, many commercially processed foods are sprayed with chemicals such as glyphosate. Would you knowingly put a few drops of weed killer in your children's breakfast cereal? A poison that has been proven to cause cancer, messes with hormone function, and is linked to liver disease, birth defects and reproductive problems!
Sadly Monsanto (the producer of RoundUp/Glyphosate) wields great political power and in the United States has been given a free pass on the use of this dangerous product. Many other countries have outlawed, banned or severely restricted the use of Glyphosate because of the unquestioned harm it causes.

The sad truth is that the United States of America is in large part governed and controlled by organizations and companies who have created laws and loopholes that allow them to profit financially by selling their products even though they are proven to cause physical harm to the population. Fortunately this is changing as many cities and some communities are taking a stand against this harmful herbicide.
The food manufacturing, pharmaceutical, alcohol and tobacco industries are complicit in falsifying information and manipulating public opinion for their financial gains. Research is manipulated or avoided to throw doubt on dubious products and practices. The honest truth is that we are being lied to on so many levels that we doubt and question even proven documented science. The information we have access to (via the internet) is not presented as straight facts that would allow the reasonably minded to formulate their own conclusions. Rather journalism today is so strongly biased that the masses are manipulated into passionately following what a logical mind sees as idiotic.
As purchasers and consumers of marketplace goods, we strongly recommend the purchasing of organic and non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods. By definition "Organic" means non-GMO and products that are not sprayed with harmful herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Is the system perfect? No, but it is the best that we have access to. The public and population votes with the dollars we spend. As demand for clean foods increase, the growers and producers will fall in line. As more of us bring to light and speak out against those things that are clearly proven to cause harm, the tide will begin to shift. Corporate America's foremost concern is financial profit, and rest assured they will follow the dollar. We see this as large corporations eagerly purchase health food and supplement companies and restaurant chains. Our hope (often unsuccessfully) is that they maintain the standards of these companies they purchase, rather than compromise the quality of their products in an effort to increase their profits. Companies such as Garden of Life - nutritional supplements (purchased by Nestle'), Chipotle Restaurant (purchased by McDonalds) and Seeds of Change - organic seeds and foods (purchased by Mars, Inc.) are a few examples.
The scientific literature clearly shows that Glyphosate is directly related to and causes these health conditions and is a contributing factor in many others.

Choosing Organic Foods
Choosing organic is the best way to avoid glyphosate in your food. Glyphosate (the main ingredient in Roundup) is not only used to kill weeds, but can be used directly on crops as a desiccant (to dry them out before harvest). This makes conventionally grown grains more likely to contain glyphosate than other conventionally grown crops. But, also consider what happens when glyphosate is sprayed on GMO crops that don't die when Roundup is sprayed on them. This is the case for alfalfa. If it's not organic alfalfa it might be GMO. So, even grass-fed beef can contain glyphosates if the grass was sprayed with Roundup and the cattle was supplemented with GMO-laden and Roundup-ready alfalfa. Healthy animal products like bone broth, milk, and eggs are only truly healthy if they are not fed GMO or glyphosate-sprayed feeds. Food that is organic has been produced without the use of glyphosate.

In response to reports of RoundUp contamination in their products, Quaker Oats responded:
"Our company stands by the quality of its products, and it does not add glyphosate in any part of its milling process. The chemical is used by farmers across the country who apply it before the harvest."
In other words, it's not our fault, it's the farmers who are responsible for our products being contaminated with weed killers. Of course, it is the fault of Quaker Oats! If they demanded clean grains from the farmers, they would get it. If we demand clean foods, they will become more available.
We urge each of us to make the switch to Organic and non-GMO
