Non-GMO Month – Take Charge of Your Food!

Non-GMO Month – Take Charge of Your Food! In the video below, Jeffrey Smith (Institute for Responsible Technology) is interviewed by Dr. Joseph Mercola about Non-GMO month. Oasis Advanced Wellness has dedicated our October 2010 newsletter, Advanced Health and Wellness, to information concerning GMO foods. Hidden Dangers in Kid’s Meals is another excellent video by Jeffrey Smith that all parents and grandparents should view. This video is also available below – parts 1-3. Please take the time to watch both videos and educate yourself.

The Non-GMO Food Project

Whole Foods has led the way by entering it’s private label foods into the non-GMO project and thus taking a strong leadership position in getting the word out about the harmful effects of genetically modified foods.

“Now the good thing about the natural products industry today is the Non-GMO Project movement,” Jeffrey says. “A couple of years ago, the leaders of the natural food industry got together and backed a new standard for making non-GMO claims, and they called it the Non-GMO Project.

Now there are thousands of products enrolled in the Non-GMO Project, and you’re going to start to see a little seal on packages, just like the organic seal.

You’re also going to see something called Non-GMO Project Verified, meaning that the claim that something is non-GMO is now backed by a third party verified system.

In the past, if an owner of a natural products store had a lot of things that contained GMOs and a lot of things that didn’t, they may be quite hesitant to start ringing the bell that GMOs were unhealthy. But now stores are becoming populated more and more and in some cases, completely, with products that are non-GMO verified.

Now you have store owners and managers and staff who are happy to shout from the rafters, our products are non-GMO and here is why.”

Please understand that GMO food has not been proven as safe. Instead, our government has decided to allow genetically engineered food into our food supply thus making us human lab-rats. I encourage you NOT to play along with this game by letting your voice be heard. The best way this is accomplished is through your buying power. Ask questions of your local grocer and let them know you will not patronize their store if they carry unlabeled GMO food or do not allow non-GMO labeled food. The food industry needs to know that we DO CARE what is in our foods and that we will not buy “questionable” food that can harm our health and that of our children.

Oasis Advanced Wellness is committed to education about genetically modified food and the harmful effects that have been found in animals and humans that have been feed genetically modified food. If we remain silent our entire food supply could become compromised very quickly. Genetically engineered foods puts a lot of money into the pockets of companies such as Monsanto. To them, it’s totally about money and not about your safety. It’s important that we all do our own research and then begin to educate our family and friends.
