The Wise Traditions conference had fantastic speakers, experts and topics. There were topics ranging from science research, farming practices, to traditional cooking. Our goal is to give you the highlights and resources for learning and applying your knowledge to make our communities healthier places.
Jeffery Smith is one of the world's foremost authors, educators & activists for spreading information about the dangers of Genetically Modified foods. He has written "Seeds of Deception" and most recently "Genetic Roulette" which clearly spell out why not only buying/supporting organic, non-genetically modified foods is vital for our lives, but why & how we can act to change our future.
His YouTube films are a fast track way to get informed: Just go to YouTube.com and search Jeffery Smith, GMO Trilogy or Seeds of Deception.
Jeffery has also created the "Campaign for Healthier Eating in America" where you can find the "Non-GMO Shopping Guide" and the GMO Health Risks brochure free to download at:
www.responsibletechnology.org. You can also bring these items to your local health food store and they can order them in bulk for free. They also have a "GMO education center" that stores and display to educated consumers why making the "organic, non-GMO choice" is so vital.
As a mother of two children born with severe food allergies, I spent years running crazy trying to figure what they were allergic to. We came up with a list of foods. Ironically, many of these I now find out are some of the first and most widely GMO foods: Soy, Corn, Wheat, Nuts... and had been put into the food system only a few years before I had my children. Why is it they seem to do well on Organic and Farm fresh versions of many of the same foods?
There is no way to determine what "GMO" foods are going to do in our bodies। So the question now becomes are they allergic to the food, or is it the genetically altered protein of the seeds used to grow that food? Is your disease/symptom/syndrome really that or could it be your body reacting to engineered "food" it cannot properly assimilate? (see further resources at the end of the blog)
Cheap food has a much greater Cost in the long run. Don't throw good money after "Cheap" food.
Bottom line, seeds are being manipulated and adulterated in so many ways our bodies are having a heck of a time recognizing the food as food. If you eat food from a seed that has been altered in a lab NOT to germinate or to have bugs not want to eat it...what do you think food from that source is going to do in our bodies?
Non GMO foods
