30 Day No GMO Challenge!

I just pledged to avoid all GMO foods for 30 days. This is going to be a difficult challenge but I have major concerns about GMO foods. These are foods that have been changed from their natural form but remain similar enough that the FDA doesn't require labeling. Aside from polluting and eliminating original crops, no one can tell me how the changing, combining and mixing of genes may affect my food allergies. I have a LOT of food allergies. It started in 3rd grade when I licked a brazil nut that tasted funny and almost died. It spread to all tree nuts. Then Latex and all the latex related foods. Then They started spreading in an odd way with no explanation. This is not, "oh, I ate something and my tummy hurts" intolerance. My allergies are true allergic responses to the proteins in various foods complete with anaphylaxis. If I am allergic to tomatoes and they add tomato gene to a banana and don't label it... I am left to play russian roulette every time I eat.

I found the contest as I was looking around the US Wellness Meats blog. I just received my first order of grassfed/finished beef and bison. OMG, I ended up being so happy with my order I decided to become an affiliate (points at the new banner). So, I was curious and this weeks giveaway drawing for the GMO challenge is a 100 gift certificate to US Wellness! I would love to win but I would love it even more if someone won who had never ordered from US Wellness before. Check out the contest and take the challenge. Tell farmers, big agriculture and the government that you care about our food supply. Tell them you want to keep your options and ability to make informed decisions through your actions.
