“We have the right to
know.” That sounds reasonable….doesn’t
it? Why wouldn’t we want to know
something especially when it comes to our health? Don’t you think we have the right to know the
ingredients of something that we put in our mouth? After all, what we eat makes up our cells,
skin, organs, tissues…our entire body!
California recently tried to pass a proposition allowing for
the labeling of GMO’s or genetically modified foods. (Prop 37) It did not pass. I actually find it hard to believe that
voters voted against such a measure. Monsanto
and other “invested” companies in favor of GMO’s fought the initiative with
millions of dollars in advertising trying to sway votes against the
proposition. It appears to have
worked. Who knows if there was any voter fraud? How would we know? (Just saying!)
The Right to Know Movement is growing. Grassroot efforts are stirring in various
states such as Connecticut and here in New York to get GMO’s labeled. This past week, I met with the New York Right
To Know Group in N.Y.C. New York State
does not have a ballot initiative like California and other States. In order to get GMO’s labeled in New York, it
must be done the old fashioned way…the legislative representatives have to
vote. There is GMO legislation which was
drafted in 2011 which is sitting idle. The bill will be resurrected or new
legislation drafted. I cannot give out
our strategy, but if you want to help get involved in this movement, please
send me an email at Christine@innerbeautyworkshops.com. Also, please join this facebook page for
