Just Say No to GMO Foods and Products!

What are GMO's?

GMO is the acronym for Genetically Modified Organism. The official definition given on Wikipedia is: An organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques, generally known as recombinant DNA technology, use DNA molecules from different sources, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into an organism, giving it modified or novel genes. 

Currently about 80% of all packaged foods in the U.S. contain GMO's. Although many other countries have significant restrictions or complete bans on the production of GMO's, the U.S. continues to allow these frankenfoods to overtake our food supply.

So What's the Big Deal?

Rather than share with you our findings and opinions we've decided to share pertinent videos and links to websites on the subject so you can do your own research and develop your own opinion. Trust that this is not something to be overlooked!

Jeffrey M. Smith, bestselling author of  "Seeds of Deception" on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

Robyn O'Brien author of "The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food Is Making Us Sick and What We Can Do About It." and former Wall Street food industry analyst brings insight, compassion and detailed analysis to her research into the impact that the global food system is having on the health of our children.

Vacuum Sealed Salad in a Jar that Lasts a Week!

Here's a great idea that can save you time, money and keep you healthy. With just a little prep time you can preserve serving size portions of salad to take with you to work, school, the gym or on a road trip. All you're going to need to get started is some quart size wide mouth jars and a FoodSaver vacuum food sealer with the jar sealer attachment. I've also seen this method done by putting the dressing and salad toppings in the bottom of the jar and the salad on top. When it comes time to eat, simply pour into a bowl and enjoy. 

Here, Paula from www.Salad-in-a-Jar.com gives us a quick demonstration of  how it's done.
