We have a duty

I attended the Rally last week in Washington DC to protest a subcommittee hearing on H.R. 4423 nicknamed the DARK Act. H.R. 4423 is a clever way to 'get GMOS' labeled while stripping States' Rights away and allowing GMOs to be labeled as natural. Well, you and I know better about that. So I boarded a bus that was offered by the Organic Consumers Association to have concerned citizens show up in D.C. on the morning of the hearing and be present. I packed a back pack and loaded my 8 yr old and myself on an overnight bus to DC and did my duty and was present. You can read about my trip HERE.

We have a duty to protect our food and water sources.

As a mother, I used to think that my hardest battle with food and my children would be to get them to eat their vegetables. Now, I have to make sure the vegetables I source are organic or local/no spray.

As an activist it is overwhelming to me to present very factual clear evidence of pesticide loads, the diseases they cause, and the non nutritive value in conventionally grown commercial food to be told " That's YOUR thing, I'm not that interested."

How can the health; immediate and long term health of your family not be YOUR thing? 

How can protecting the your child's fertility and body against cancer not be YOUR thing? 

Are we really that lazy as a society where it is easier to feed our children the cheapest of foods during their formative years and pretend that there are not better options. That good parenting means be permissive with their diet and health?
