Allowing companies to do their own scientific assessments and then rubber stamping them has led to giant abuses with disregard for people’s health and an eye fixed only on the bottom line by both government and industry. It is time we stood up for ourselves. If we have to eat defensively then let us do it. Researching food on the internet is a way to protect ourselves and stop spending our money to undermine our health.

I will cease to buy from any source that uses GMO Alfalfa.

I have already started to process of finding out how to move to Europe simply to get away from the horrid American food industry, and allowing GMO Alfalfa will only increase my desire to do so.
