Real Food Wednesday: Take The No GMO Challenge!

Happy Earth Day! On this Real Food Wednesday, we’ll be hearing from lots of other bloggers about real food. Please post your link below with Mr. Linky. If you don’t have a blog, you can share whatever you like about real food in the comments.

What’s Real Food Wednesday, you ask? What’s “real food”? Click here for those answers and more.

Here’s what I have to share today for Real Food Wednesday.

Can you think of a threat to our planet bigger than GM crops and GM seeds? I can’t. Global warming has got nothing on the possibility of wiping out our planet’s food supply.

For this reason, we are launching the No GMO Challenge today, on Earth Day.

Most of the readers of my blog are the people who do the food shopping. Let’s take a stand today and for the next 30 days and stop eating GMOs.

Let’s go beyond that and blog/tweet/Facebook/stumble/Digg/email about GMOs. Let’s talk about not eating GMOs. Talk about why we don’t eat GMOs. Talk about the health risks and the environmental hazards and the threat of global monopoly.

Let’s put it out there for the world to see.

Because the reality is, most people don’t even know they are eating GMOs. They don’t know GMOs are in their breakfast cereal and their baby’s formula. They don’t know GMOs are in their cookies and in their milk. And they don’t know about the health risks. They don’t know about the environmental threat.

We need to raise awareness. We need to educate. Those of us who do know, we need to shout it from the rooftops. Like Horton in Horton Hears a Who.

Because if we don’t speak out, we won’t have organic food. It will be contaminated by the ever-growing number of GM crops. If we don’t speak out, we won’t have small family farms. They’ll be put out of business by corporations like Monsanto.

Let’s join together today and start spreading the word. I can’t think of anything more important that I can do this Earth Day. For my daughter, and for her children, and for her children’s children.

Please go to the No GMO Challenge website and sign up to take the No GMO Challenge. Download a badge and put it in your sidebar or on your Facebook profile, follow us on Twitter, post the link on Facebook, email your friends. And start blogging. If you don’t have a blog, do it on Facebook. Or Twitter. Or just send emails.

If we can get an organic garden on the White House lawn, we can get GMOs out of our food supply in America. Let’s do it, people!

Now it’s your turn to share your Real Food Wednesday post. Looking forward to reading all the posts!
