Tomorrow, a planning meeting for The NO GMO Show! will be held at Aikido’Ka Martial Arts Studio. If this is something you’d like to be a part of, make sure to go, and RSVP on their Facebook events page.
Below is information about a new website that may help you in your pursuit of staying GMO free:
Was one of your New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier? A new website may aid you in your success.
The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) recently launched http://www.nonGMOShoppingGuide.com. It takes the guesswork out of how to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene-spliced food products. With polls indicating that 9 out of 10 Americans want GMOs labeled, the site’s brand vs. brand comparison is expected to have a significant influence in shifting the choices shoppers make in supermarkets.
IRT’s Executive Director Jeffrey Smith, who hears from thousands of consumers on trips around the US, frustrated at the lack of labeling, says “Our new website gives consumers back the power to make an informed choice.”
The site was developed for the 53% of Americans who say they would avoid GMOs if labeled. It lists popular brands that don’t use ingredients from the eight GM crops such as GM soy and corn. It also lists dairy products that don’t allow the controversial GM bovine growth hormone.
BriarPatch Co-op Community Market’s merchandising policy prohibits carrying GMO products on its shelves. This new tool will help BriarPatch stay GMO free. The Co-op also recommends visiting the Non-GMO website so that customers can make informed choices, no matter where they’re shopping.
Ann Marie Michaels, proud mom of a two-year old, says “I am so grateful IRT put up this site. The Non-GMO Shopping Guide fits easily into my purse, and now I wouldn’t leave home without it.”
Physician Amy Dean, who is a board member of AAEM, a Physicians’ association that recently asked doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets to all patients, says she regularly provides the Non-GMO Shopping Guide for her patients, and is pleased to recommend IRT’s informative and easy-to-use new website.
The Non-GMO Shopping Guide is a joint production of IRT and the Center for Food Safety. To find more information on GMOs, go to http://www.healthiereating.org and http://www.nonGMOShoppingGuide.com.
