Today's Focus
THE FUTURE OF FOOD


Did you know that 60% of processed foods contain genetically modified products? Did you know that companies are not required to share this information with the consumer? Do you know the health risks associated with genetically modified foods?

There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America -- a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD is a must see film for everyone…. If you are not familiar with genetically modified foods, this is the movie for you! "If you eat food, you need to see The Future of Food..." --- Newstarget.com

“The future of food offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.

From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today."

"If Columbus had an advisory committee, he would probably still be at the dock."

Before asking everyone else what you should do to make your life better, why not get quiet and centered, go within and ask the Inner You? Sometimes, it only takes a committee of ONE to make an amazing difference.

Healthy Home Tip


Try cleaning mold with a paste made out of borax laundry soap and water it takes a little scrubbing but it will kill the mold and it is non-toxic.

FACT: Bleach does not kill the roots of mold it only kills the flower, which is the gross stuff that we see so it only gives you the illusion that you have conquered your mold!
