“Alfalfa is pollinated by bees, which can travel for miles, so we can be certain that seed stocks will be contaminated, threat- ening the livelihoods of organic farmers.”
What We Can Do It’s up to informed consumers to increase demand for non-GMO and organic foods. Here’s an effective ac- tion plan to protect our health and save Planet Earth.
n Read ingredient labels and vote with your food dollars. Reject products likely to contain GMOs, such as dextrose, corn starch, corn syrup or corn sugar, soy lecithin, canola and cottonseed oils, and sugar from sugar beets.
n Choose certified organic foods. They are our single best bet for avoiding GMO ingredients, synthetic pesti- cides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics and hormones.
n Call or write President Obama, your state representatives and food manu- facturers. Voice opposition to GMO crops and demand GMO-food labeling.
n Grow some food using organic seeds.
n Stay informed and don’t be duped. Here are some helpful resources:
