the seeds of change

YAY!!! Seems like something is changing and it feels so, so good.

Japan’s Seikatsu Club Consumers’ Cooperative (SCCC) have been meeting with farmer’s in the midwest to attain non-GMO seeds to bring back to their country. It has been getting more and more diffucult to get non-GMP seeds, while the demand for non-GMO raised animals and crops has been growing.

This is good for us, because it is nearly impossible to get non-GMO outside of the US, therefore causing our desire to continue down this path.

“Consumer rejection of GM foods overseas continues to galvanize non-GM markets. And since most countries, Japan included, do not grow GM crops domestically, consumers in those countries know that their preferences can influence market supply. That’s why SCCC representatives brought to the U.S. a statement from the “No! GMO Campaign,” comprised of 53 farmer, consumer, and public interest groups opposing the U.S. cultivation of GM sugar beets and the import of its byproduct, beet pulp, for livestock feed. Their message to U.S. food and feed producers is clear: Beware of international market losses.”

Also, I found a website that is listing products that are certified as non-GMO. Check it out. It may be useful if you want to ensure what you are putting in that body of yours. Go HERE.

*And, fyi, there is a comment in the article about the growth of GMO sugar beets. I do not have much information on this, but will research and share what I find out.
