Listen to Your Mother...



Non-GMO Seattle Volunteers



I'm happy to have a guest blogger today...my mom, Margy Laughlin. She and my dad Bill attended a potluck last night in Seattle with other activists that are working toward a GMO free world. Read about the dangers of GMO's here.  Big thanks go out to people like Margy and Bill who are fighting the good fight against corporations and government that make decisions in regard to how nature does its work. Here are some questions to ask yourself. Do you know where your food comes from? Do you know the difference between industrial and organic produce? Do you know what goes into processed foods? Do you know how certain foods can negatively impact your body and the environment? It comes down to this for me....doesn't mother nature know best? When did this change? Would love to hear what readers have to say about this important topic.

The Folks...Margy and Bill Laughlin



          

Rose asked me to blog about my first meeting with a new organization with a very important mission, GMOFreeSeattle.com.

Last night Bill and I attended a meeting of the grass roots organization Non GMO Washington.  We discussed our goal which is to make Washington state a GMO (genetically modified organisms) free food state.  Action committees were formed with volunteers on each committee. The meeting was conducted by Dr. Les Berenson, a leader and expert in GMO health hazards related to GMO foods. Volunteers came from as far as Bremerton, Tacoma, and Port Towsend.

It was an exciting evening to be involved in this issue and we will continue to participate and work with our fellow volunteers to work for labeling of GMO foods and promoting a GMO free Washington state.

We have six excellent reasons to work for a Non GMO Washington state and that is the health of our grandchildren and for that matter the health of everyone’s grandchild.
