GM Salmon

Its been so long since I've blogged. I think it's been about a year and a half since my last entry! Well, a lot has happened since then. For starters, I had another baby boy! Now I'm a mother of three.

Though I'm much busier now juggling three children, you would think that little time would be left for much else. The truth is, its more important now than ever before to learn more about food safety and food policies in this country. After all, I have a growing family I need to take care of and I worry about what food will be like in the years to come.

Last week I read an article in the WSJ that both shocked and outraged me! It was about genetically modified salmon and how it's currently in the process of getting approved by the FDA! Currently there are three GM crops on the market; corn, soybeans and sugar beets. GM Salmon, if approved, would be the first genetically modified ANIMAL to appear in our grocery stores -and what's worse - it wouldn't even be labeled. This is a VERY big decision for the FDA. It will set a precedent for future GM animals. Here's the link to the article from last week's WSJ:

Here's another good link too. It's a kickass letter to the FDA written by a like-minded individual:

Please spread the word! We can't let this take place if we care about the future of our foods and our children. If you're on Facebook please Like This.

So the search for the truth continues. Stay tuned...
