“It appears there is a direct correlation between GMOs and autism.”

–Arden Anderson, MD, PhD, MPH

If you are a parent, chances are you know someone who has been diagnosed with autism.  What’s astounding is the rate of diagnosed children and the timing of this accelerated rate of occurrence.  Objectively, it’s easy to see the pattern regarding GMO foods and autism…here’s the complete story – http://www.responsibletechnology.org/autism

Please learn about Genetically Modified Organisms and their impact on you, your children, and the planet. 

When was the last time you went out to eat for dinner?  Most of us eat out quite a bit which means that we’re likely exposing ourselves to GMO’s without even realizing it.  Here’s an article that will open your eyes – http://www.responsibletechnology.org/buy-non-gmo/dine-out-non-gmo

The difference in selective breeding versus genetically modifying a plant is significant.  Unfortunately, those on the side of GMO’s often infer that the process is the same.  Though technology has helped both efforts, selective breeding does not allow for cross species (animal/plant, insect/plant) manipulation.   In other words, breeding a new species of corn that grows better in New York by crossing a variety of corn from Europe with a variety of corn from the western USA makes sense.  The traits exhibited by the ‘new’ corn are an improvement that allow better use of the soil, better use of water or fertilizers, and hopefully produces better yields.  This has been done by farmers for ages and has resulted in nothing harmful to the human body. 

In contrast, GMO’s infer cross species modifications.  The use of bacteria/insect/non plant DNA inserted into plant DNA resulting in a plant that produces it’s own pesticide as a response to this manipulation.  What’s unclear but becoming less so is the health impacts on the body in regards to the ingestion of GMO’s.   We don’t have any clear indications that the genes impacted by the GMO’s are benign in the human body.  Since the introduction of GMO’s, a myriad of issues in the human body have increased. 

When looking for Non-GMO foods without labeling you are going to need a guide.  Here’s where to get a guide and keep updated.

CALIFORNIA VOTERS – PLEASE VOTE YES ON PROP 37 THIS NOVEMBER

Thank you – SunRidge Farms

What is PROPOSITION 37??  In our view, PROP 37, is one of the most critical referendums ever introduced by the people.  This is the first time that legislation regarding the labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) has been able to be submitted to the ballot for vote in the USA.  To understand how big this is, you have to realize that companies like Monsanto have fought legislation, tooth and nail for years, to keep public awareness of GMO’s to a minimum.

Why would this be??  What could Monsanto be afraid of??  If the products that Monsanto makes are perfectly safe, then why wouldn’t they want all food items to reflect that??

GMO’s aren’t safe, that’s why!!!  SunRidge Farms is a substantial supporter of the Institute for Responsible Technology.  Here’s a link to their site which provides a clear picture of these dangers,  http://www.responsibletechnology.org/ . 

Clearly many Californian’s feel the same way!  Well over a million signatures were gathered in order for PROP 37 to make the ballot.  This is from the people, not our lawmakers.  If they had tried, Monsanto would have quashed it.  We, the people, can not let that happen.  I refuse to be bought by Monsanto and so should you.  Make sure to contact your representatives and explain to them your expectations.  Your health, your children’s health, etc. are too valuable to leave to chance.  Please take the time to educate yourself to the facts and VOTE YES ON 37!!

Remember, California is the world’s 8th largest economy.  As goes California, so goes the rest of USA and eventually, the world.  Monsanto will be doing everything in their power to create controversy and confusion.  Please do not let them fool you.  There is a reason that Monsanto has been labeled ‘The most evil company in the world’. 

Thank you for supporting SunRidge Farms and we look forward to being part of your families healthy food lifestyle!

If you are a California registered ( or eligible to register ) voter, we urge you to read the GMO Labeling initiative and vote in support of mandatory labeling of Genetically Modified Foods or Ingredients so that you know what is in your food.  Please check back often as we’ll link to as many informational sources as possible to educate as many people as possible as to the real concerns of GMO’s.  For starters please check out this story:
