Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), introduced into our food supply
in the mid-1990s, are one of history's most dangerous and radical dietary changes. These largely unregulated GMO ingredients
are in 60-70% of the foods in the US, but it's well worth making the effort to avoid them.
Health-conscious retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and growers are participating in The Campaign for Healthier Eating
in America, which will eliminate GMOs from thousands of products. This will make it easier for you to feed your family a
healthier 'non-GMO' diet, and may even end the genetic engineering of the entire US food supply.
This industry-wide rejection of GMOs can be achieved by a 'tipping point,' when there are enough US shoppers avoiding GM
ingredients to force the major food companies to stop using them.
Europe reached the tipping point in April 1999 and within a single week, virtually all major manufacturers publicly committed
to stop using GM ingredients in their European brands. This consumer-led revolt against GMOs in the EU was generated by a
February 1999 media firestorm after a top GMO safety researcher, Dr. Arpad Pusztai, was 'ungagged by Parliament' and able to
tell this alarming story to the press.
Jeffrey M. Smith is the international bestselling author of
Seeds of Deception, as well as the newly released
Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods. He produced the
DVD 'Hidden Dangers in Kids Meals'. Jeffrey is the director of the
Institute for Responsible Technology and
the Campaign for Healthier Eating in America.

Healthy Eating Means No GMOs: You may have heard that
