Question:
What is your opinion on GMO foods?
Answer:
GMO foods are to be avoided like the plague! Nature makes the perfect foods. Genetic modification only serves to allow seed companies and food producers to control our food supply. As I feel very strongly about food choices affecting our health, I have included this as my First Pillar of Health, in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.
As well as extensive dietary recommendations that help people understand how to eat better, balance pH, comments on dairy, sugar, and organic, some recipes are included.
I don’t want to get political on my website, however having the right to choose to eat healthy food has become somewhat politicized, and it is a definite health issue, so I am making this exception. In many countries of the world people are facing the same issues.
There is huge pressure in both Canada and US by food producers to NOT label GMO foods, or to do it deceptively, so no can be sure whether they are eating real tomatoes, or tomatoes spliced with fish genes.
This is contrast to many European countries that will not even allow GMO food or seeds to cross their borders!
In Canada, Elizabeth May from Green Party, has been working hard to ensure farmers and consumers are protected and well-informed about the food grown and purchased in Canada.
For years the Greens have demanded:
* Mandatory labeling for all GE ingredients
* GE-free food zones
* Independent research of GE crops and their effects on people
* A ban on the introduction of new GE products like salmon and alfalfa in Canada
You can help us win this fight!
Please take a minute to sign our online petition and then download a copy, collect signatures from people of all ages in your community, and return it postage free to Elizabeth May’s parliamentary office.
Signed paper petitions will be presented to the House of Commons by Elizabeth, to request action from the Government of Canada.
Thank you for your support, and for creating the change you want to see in Canada.
