Be Informed

I wanted to tell you about two highly informative websites dedicated to our food purity and safety.

One is the Organic Consumers Association:

www.organicconsumers.org

And the other is the Cornucopia Institute:

www.cornucopia.org

Both sites feature in-depth articles and studies on organic standards, the GMO controversy and a host of other issues directly relating to the food we eat. The information in both is highly researched and up-to-date.

They are two of the best sites I know of to get informed and take action. Both feature an assortment of campaigns (and electronic petitions) currently being waged against the trend toward weakening organic standards, the disappearance of small family-owned farms, genetically modified food proliferation and more.

I appreciate the immense dedication of the people involved in both organizations. They are working on the front lines to safeguard the future of our food, environment and small farmers.

If you're interested in any of the issues above, these sites are goldmines of information.

As Gandhi once said, "We need to be the change we want to see in the world."
