Just got off the phone with Women's Health Director for Paulding County and the tone in her voice reminded me why raising funds of any amount for those in need is worth it! She said, "Oh it will do SO much. This will help multiple women where our funds drop off. THANK YOU!!!" Using this forum to pass the thank you to Lucky Draw Tattoos III & Art Gallery first and foremost for donating and offering their shop for kickoff party and of course Yelp OTP for putting together everything and pulling us into the fray. Movie crews may have slowed us down but the impact was heard LOUD and clear

Angels Among Us | Video | abc11.com

(Via Payscape Advisors) One of our 'Scapers, Dan Reeves, battled a cancerous brain tumor in 2007 (five years later he is free of cancer!). Dan was treated at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University and is now paying it forward by participating in Angels Among Us and raising money for brain tumor research. Check out his recent interview on Heart of Carolina Perspectives http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/video?id=9053050 and consider donating to his team, The Dan De Lions, to raise money for brain tumor research!

THIS IS WHY THE MONSANTO PROTECTION ACT IS SUCH AN ACTIONABLE PRIORITY. The choice is to do something now, or watch the cancer rates to corroborate these studies SKY ROCKET within the next 5-10 years.

This is Jessica Hill and I started Ink 4 Pink to try and keep someone else from losing there mother like I did.

Please call and email your Senator, Congressmen, The White House, Obama directly and keep doing so. It may mean someone else keeps their mother a bit longer in the future:

"In September 2012, Food and Chemical Toxicology, a serious international scientific journal, released a study by a team of scientists at France’s Caen University led by Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini. Before publication the Seralini study had been reviewed over a four-month period by a qualified group of scientific peers for its methodology and was deemed publishable."

"Seralini’s group based their experiment on the same protocol as the Monsanto study but, critically, were testing more parameters more frequently. And the rats were studied for much longer—their full two year average life-time instead of just 90 days in the Monsanto study. The long time span proved critical. The first tumors only appeared 4 to7 months into the study. In industry’s earlier 90-day study on the same GMO maize Monsanto NK603, signs of toxicity were seen but were dismissed as “not biologically meaningful” by industry and EFSA alike. It seems they were indeed very biologically meaningful."

"Their findings were more than alarming. The Seralini study concluded, “In females, all treated groups died 2–3 times more than controls, and more rapidly. This difference was visible in 3 male groups fed GMOs…Females developed large mammary tumors almost always more often than and before controls; the pituitary was the second most disabled organ; the s*x hormonal balance was modified by GMO and Roundup treatments. In treated males, liver congestions and necrosis were 2.5–5.5 times higher. This pathology was confirmed by optic and transmission electron microscopy. Marked and severe kidney nephropathies were also generally 1.3–2.3 greater. Males presented 4 times more large palpable tumors than controls…”"

Outrage: Obama Signs Monsanto Protection Act!

At this point have half a mind to think gay marriage legislation is being used as a distraction. All about equal right, but look what happened last night. How many angry posts did we see on this?? It's our FOOD, people. What you feed yourself, your kids, your lover gay or straight. Be the solution, not the acceptance of the problem.

action.fooddemocracynow.org I just made a call to President Obama urging him to issue an executive order requiring the mandatory labeling of GMO's. Please join me in standing up for our right to know what's in our food and keep Monsanto from controlling what appears on our plates.

In this weeks newsletter "Frankenfish and GMO Food Fight Round Two" we explore the future of GMO labeling in the Unites States, and many other important food movement news.

"Big Food and Big Biotech can hope all they want. But consumers can – and will – propose state laws and state ballot initiatives as often as we need, in as many states as we must, until we have what 61 other countries have: truth and transparency in the form of mandatory GMO labeling laws."

GMO-Awareness

This week's Non-GMO Brand Spotlight: Nature's Path Organic Foods -- makers of non-GMO breakfast cereals, granolas, oatmeal, waffles, toaster pastries, pancake mix and snack bars. Here's why we love them...

• Opposed to GMOs: not only did Nature's Path donate $660,709 towards California's Prop 37 to label GMOs (they believe "everyone has the right to know"), they take a bold statement about GMOs on their packaging, and get ALL of their products verified by the Non-GMO Project. Read more about their GMO philosophy here: http://us.naturespath.com/about/non-gmo

• Fairtrade Certified: Nature's Path sources all of their ingredients as locally as possible--over 78% of the weight of their ingredients come from organic farmers in North America. Read more about this here: http://us.naturespath.com/about/fair-trade

• Family-Owned: Nature's Path is owned by a private family who is very much involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. Founders Arran and Ratana Stephens were one of the earliest pioneers in the organic food movement.

• Globally Minded: Every time you buy one of their "EnviroKidz" products, 1% of the sales are donated to support endangered species, habitat conservation and environmental education for kids worldwide. Read more here: http://us.naturespath.com/about/movements/envirokidz-initiatives

• Gardens for Good: This annual grant program, born in the spring of 2010 with the help of Organic Gardening Magazine, donates $15,000 each to 3 deserving non-profits who demonstrate a passion and vision for organic urban gardening. Read more here: http://us.naturespath.com/about/movements/gardens-for-good

• Food Bank Donations: For every bag of Nature's Path granola cereal you buy, their "Bite for Bite" program donates the equivalent in cash and organic food to the local food bank, up to $1 million a year!

• Sustainable Business: in 2008, Nature's Path signed the Sustainable Food Trade Association’s declaration of sustainability to guide their business in achieving even more sustainable practices, including diverting 92% of their waste from landfills, reducing energy consumption, and more.

This will be my only post today. We are shocked and horrified by the news coming out of Connecticut. When senseless violence takes the most innocent of lives, our grief is all the deeper.

Many will seek to turn their outrage to action. But now is not the time for politics. Let us instead reflect upon what was lost today, and first grieve together for the victims, many of whom were just children.
