CBS Evening News ran an excellent story yesterday on the pervasiveness of genetically engineered food in American pantries and focused on the absence of labeling. The clip is above, the full text is here. In this news clip, Marion Nestle, a former FDA advisor and author of What to Eat (also a terrific blog), explains that industries fought hard to keep GMOs from being labeled because they feared nobody would buy them. This makes sense, of course, especially in light of a new CBS poll that found nearly 90 percent of consumers would like GMO ingredients to be labeled. "Yet the U.S. Congress has never even held a vote on the issue, to give shoppers the opportunity to exercise their most basic right -- to make a choice," CBS's Armen Keteyian says. And at the end of the day, that's the central issue of this debate: providing consumers choice, regardless of our government's approval of GMOs. Thank you, CBS. It's investigative reporting like this that makes GMO ingredients a bit less hidden.

I'm thrilled that this is getting more attention in the media now! But what can we do to get our food labeled? Is there a petition anywhere that I can sign??
written by AllergyKids, May 13, 2008
At AllergyKids, we have helped draft a letter to legislators that you can sign to urge our government to label genetically engineered proteins, toxins and allergens in foods given the risk that they appear to present to the 1 in 3 American children that now have autism, ADHD, allergies and asthma.
You can learn more at www.allergykids.com where the link to the Letter to Congress is also available here: http://www.allergykids.com/index.php?id=33, as well as on our Blog, FOOD POLITICS. With inspired hope for our children.

Europe has been labeling their foods that contain GMO's. As well, most countries outside the US have banned the growing of GMO's in their countries because it contaminates other crops. Not only that, no one knows the effects of GMO's on the human body. They haven't been around long enough for studies to have been done. Once again the US is allowing potentially harmful products to flood supermarkets without being honest with consumers. When does respect for human life overtake profit?

my primary day-job would be quite different from what I've been used to all along. I'm finally switching gears from my telecommute role that Ive been so used to over the years, to work behind a desk and be involved in spearheading the development of SaaS enabled infrastructures for the wealth management sector.

It's been a extremely interesting ride for me at Sun over the last 9 years as a contractor and an employee. They say, 'once a unix geek, always a unix geek'. Well, for me it's kinda slightly different, it's "once a sun geek, always a sun geek". The spirit lives on. It's easy to take a geek out of sun, but It would be very hard to take the "sun" outta a geek

My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my Grandfather. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?" I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me.
written by mbt chapa, April 08, 2010
She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why.

Air Jordan 1 Heroes Pack Deion Sanders and Penny Hardaway were the big names for Nike in the 90s, and surely enough, we all had a pair of Pennys or Deions Diamond Turf Trainers. Paying homage to two of LeBron James childhood idols, the LeBron VII was fashioned in two great colorways, making up the Nike Air Jordan 2010 Heroes Pack. Pennys pair features the trademark crackled swoosh from the Air Jordan 1 of Blue White Black Penny while Primetimes pair features a gaudier, spotlight stealing patent leather red with gold accents. Like Deion returning an INT for a TD or Penny driving to the hole, Air Jordan Flight 45 both pairs will be out of our reach as the LeBron VII Heroes Pack will not see a public release. via TSG. http://www.nikeairjordansshoes.com/

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
