Non-GMO Month – Take Charge of Your Food!
Sunday, October 10th, 2010Those PLU Codes on Produce Do Not Indicate GMO Foods
Monday, March 1st, 2010
We can all rest a bit easier and breathe a bit deeper because another urban legend has been laid to rest. According to Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception, those numerical PLU code labels stuck on grocery store produce (which we have been taught to scrutinize) do NOT indicate whether the produce has been genetically modified or not.
According to Smith’s recent blog on The Huntington Post: The 4-digit PLU codes on the sometimes-pain-in-the-neck labels glued to apples, for example, tell the checkout lady which is a small Fuji (4129) and which is a Honeycrisp (3283). She’ll know what to charge you and the inventory elves will know what’s what. If there’s a 5-digit code starting with 9, then it’s organic. These numbers, organized by the Produce Marketing Association, have nothing to do with you. According to Kathy Means, Association Vice President of Public Relations and Government Affairs, this is an optional convention for retailers and their supplier and is not designed as a communication tool for customers. If you want to know which items are organic, look for the word Organic; and stop squinting at tiny codes.
Food Safety & Your Health – Does President Obama Care?
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
When I think I have heard just about anything and everything, something else comes along proving that more ridiculous and even dangerous decisions are being made for our country. Below is an important and eye-opening blog post by Jeffrey Smith concerning the new US Food Safety Czar and the probable USDA top post contender. The fact that anyone with ties to Monsanto is involved in food-safety should raise not only eyebrows but also the proverbial “red flag.” Decisions are rapidly being made that will directly affect the health and well-being of every American in ways that most will regret. America has slept for too long must wake up if we don’t want our health and well-being to be taken over by these “change-agents”. Food safety is crucial in the prevention of disease and illness, something that our government and Monsanto do not have a good track record in – that is unless they can “prevent” with a prescription drug or a chemical. It’s all about money, folks, and you are only useful to them IF you are sick and/or fearful.
Once again, this administration is proving, by action, that it is not concerned about your health no matter what verbiage is used to try to convince you otherwise. It’s about control. Control that keeps people dependent on and in slavery to government rather than dependent on their God-given abilities. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting awfully tired of having to remind the ones, whose lucrative government salaries I help to pay, to keep government hands out of my pockets and government support away from those that would adulterate our food, air and water.
