gm crops are bad

a recent Soil Association report that shows Genetically Modified crops decrease yields, whether it’s cotton or soybeans or corn. i found this information from an online article via Science News Review titled Biotech Propaganda Meets Scientific Reality. also greenpeace has a great post on the evils of monsanto, a chemical company with an aggressive & profit driven involvement in global gm crops. the more learn about gm crops and gm food, the more i am convinced that organic & local farming is the most safe & sane way to go. perhaps this can be done on a small, per household scale or where several households collectively group together to farm and garden food.

this 10 minute youtube video titled Homegrown Revolution - Radical Change Taking Root is a great example of truly inspiring city gardening.

who owns your organic brand?

buying organic

great chart via good magazine that displays which of the USA’s largest food producers & corporations are behind your favorite organic foods. always good to know where your dollars go. i didn’t know coca cola owned odwalla. or that pepsi owned naked juice.
