It's been a very interesting couple of months for me. There won't be any pictures in this entry just links and it will be brief & to the point. I came across a very interesting article on Whole Foods supporting the deregulation of genetically modified crops of alfalfa. This means contamination for many a crop. I'd like to raise a bit of awareness by posting a few more pages including Whole Foods' own blog page. Talk amongst yourselves and feel free to leave your comments.

After reading these and a few more articles I became angry for a few days. I quickly just came to the realization that this GMO is even bigger than I ever imagined. I felt like they just told me there is no santa claus. Like the only ally there was has just gone into the dark side of the force.
I recently heard from another source that Obama was lobbying for Monsanto over in India. Even more angry.
This is another confirmation that it's ultimately up the individual. It's really up to us. It's going towards the direction of growing your own and really knowing where it is your food is coming from. And by that I mean getting to know your local growers and supporting them.
Thanks for stopping by for this rant.
