This is an ongoing issue with donors on both sides so the numbers have already changed. The poster shows the updated numbers while the rest of the post remains the same. It’s good to see so many companies contributing on the side of changing the law in California.

 Tomorrow is voting day! Please read why it is so important to vote yes on Proposition 37 in California. Which side are you going to believe? We have a right to know what is in our food!

I know— that isn’t good news.

 

That’s not what this is about. This is about yet another story of the things that we eat that are poisoning us— especially, arsenic. Continue reading →

Update: There is another free preview of this eye-opening film through October. Please take the time to watch it and share it. The film is about and 1:30 hours, but there is also a 10 minute version to pique your interest. Have you seen it yet?

 

 

I don’t usually do quick posts, but I would like this movie out to as many people as possible. It’s very important and talks all about GMO’s and the effects of them on our world.  Please take the time to watch it and share it. There is a free preview until September 22, 2012 and then it can be viewed for a minimum donation of $2.99. I definitely think it’s worth it if you haven’t seen it yet.
