ANGRY about our National Food System

As a parent I always tried to feed my children healthy foods and snacks. Now I find that I have been filling them full of toxic, pesticide laden, genetically modified, corn saturated, adulterated foods.

We are being used as guinea pigs by corporate America and the FDA to test  unknown food sources. Monsanto's Round Up ready crops and Genetically Engineered fish will soon be or are the norm on most tables in America. Our conventional food system is a travesty. Animal abuse in factory farms is commonplace. The living conditions are so unsanitary that the animals have to be injected with antibiotics just to keep them alive long enough to slaughter them.

CNN just pulled meat off the shelf in stores across America and found that 47% had Strep when tested and several of those were resistant to 3 kinds of antibiotics.

There is a movement to get GMO (genetically modified organisms) labeled in food. The corporations do not want to label GMO foods because they know it will reduce their sales. The FDA is protecting their right to keep GMO's unlabeled and go as far as telling others that they cannot label their food GMO-free.

Please post comments on how you feel about this. There are petitions going around now that are trying to get foods labeled so that you know what you are eating. Please sign is they come your way.
