Are GMO’s promoting Autism??

“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

Dining out?? It may be harder than you think to avoid GMO’s

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

California Voters – Please VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November

What is the difference between selective breeding of plants and 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. 

In 2009, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) stated

that, “Several animal studies indicate serious health risks

associated with genetically modified (GM) food,” including infertility,

immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and

changes in major

organs and the gastrointestinal system.

The facts are quickly gaining traction which is why 69% of the voters in California are in favor of the labeling of GMO foods.  We just want to know whether or not the foods we are eating contain GMO’s so we have the choice not to eat them.  Educate yourself here,

SunRidge Farms urges all California Voters to embrace PROP 37

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!

GMO’s – mankind’s not so great idea

Five years ago, I had no idea about genetically modified organisms (GMO) and what it means in regards to the food we eat.  I do now and do whatever I can to avoid foods grown or produced using any GM seeds.  This is significantly more difficult than you think once you realize the scope of the use of GMO’s in food.  Just see this link, http://www.labelgmos.org/the_science_genetically_modified_foods_gmo

The efforts of Monsanto and other companies to muddy the waters is very similar to the efforts of Big Tobacco in releasing information only when it’s favorable to their position.  Monsanto, the largest of the GMO companies, actually is threatening to sue the State of Vermont over GMO labeling… http://rt.com/usa/news/monsanto-sue-gmo-vermont-478/

REALLY??  Just this information alone should be enough to simply enter the polls in California in November and VOTE YES to require GMO labeling.

Not quite convinced…try this on for size, http://www.naturalnews.com/036254_GM_corn_rootworm_crop_failures.html

There is plenty more evidence against GMO’s that we’ll be sharing.

Thanks for reading and we wish you great health!
