This is Handy-Dandy!! 03/06/2012
Sorry, sorry, sorry for not posting more regularly....no! no, apologies....life is life...we get busy so we do what we can. But, I am sorry. I've come across sooooooooo much it's almost mind-blowing regarding the laws, Mansanto is entrenched in our current administration, and things are changing faster than you could sear a steak!! Please, everyone try and get a copy of the New Food Safety Law and study it! I think we should be able to get a free copy from the US government web site. If it costs anything to get a copy, it's well worth it. I'm going to try and get me a copy soon! We need to know what we are up against to be able to become REAL FOOD advocates. Also, we need to do as much investigation as we can to be able to educate our family and friends as to how Mansanto is QUICKLY changing what the food industry is really about, how that affects our immediate health and access to food and what we can do about it. In the meantime, here is a great link that can help you navigate through the FRANKENFOOD INDUSTRY. Remember, it's not just about "organic" any more. That term itself can be VERY misleading. Learn what is happening to our foods. Even if you have stepped up your diligence to make truly good food choices, others need to be educated. It's the whole world food chain that is under attack by the greedy. Europe has kicked Mansanto OUT!! It's time we did the same! http://www.nongmoshoppingguide.com/ For the VERY brave: http://www.seedsofdeception.com/Public/Products/DVDsCDs/index.cfm Bon Apetit!

I found another one so I can't resist passing it on so that I can do my part to educate others as to the controversies regarding GMO's. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/15/why-arent-g-m-o-foods-labeled/?ref=geneticallymodifiedfood Bon Apetit! Wahooooooooooooo!!! 10/27/2011
I was soooooooooo excited to see the post I've linked to for you to review. Please, if you have ANY concerns at all about GMO's or Mansanto or preserving your right to naturally reproducing seed that is nonhybrid, please copy and paste this link everywhere you possibly can and make a committment to follow this case closely, notifying every representative you can of this action! http://rareseeds.com/GMO_lawsuit Bon Apetit!!! Big Controversies Can Come in Small Packages 07/22/2011
The "seed" of something is usually considered its 'genesis', its nucleus, where something germinates from to become something else. It's miraculous how the basis for our whole food chain, which we are MOST DEPENDENT upon comes from little, sometimes miniscule, seeds. Likewise, an idea, a dream, and a controversy of with Fascist/Disctatorship-like characteristics can spring from 'a seed'! In previous posts I have referred to Genetically Modified Organisms (primarily food) and the HUGE concerns that we, as a consuming/dependent public should have regarding them. Not only are there some main concerns such as biological compatability and unknown health consequences, the most concerning is the idea that we no longer will have the freedom to produce our own food. Some people have referred to me, Elaine Parny, as an alarmist and that I unnecessarily focus on the negative. I can tell you this, if the public does not go out of its way to question, investigate and advocate, it will be subjected to tyranny in every area of their lives. And, with the control over food production, any ruling agency will, in fact, have the government sanctioned capacity to exploit your dependence on food and to regulate what you can and cannot have for food consumption, unconcerned as to your optimum health but rather prioritizing the producers profits. Case in point, please read the following: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/ams.fetchTemplateData.do?template=TemplateU&navID=&page=Newsroom&result&dDocName=STELPRDC5092024&dID=152103&wf=false&description=USDA+Grants+Protection+to+40+New+Plant+Varieties+&topNav=Newsroom&leftNav=&rightNav1=&rightNav2= Who is Mansanto? 01/26/2011
Since I've referred to Mansanto in various articles and links I've posted, I thought I would give you a link that, I think, gives a very good overview as to why we should be concerned about this corporation and how it is negatively impacting our world. Here's the link: http://www.naturalnews.com/030967_Monsanto_evil.html http://www.naturalnews.com/030913_Monsanto_suicides.html http://www.naturalnews.com/030406_GMOs_survey.html http://www.naturalnews.com/030940_Bill_Gates_Foundation_genetics.html Though the Senate Bill 510 has passed the Senate and is now in the house (hopefully it will not pass), I found this more in-depth information that helps to explain what has and is going on with the bill. Please study Senate Bill 510 and weigh in on what you think. If you believe that this bill in its present form is potentially oppressive to small and personal food production, please contact your representative to demand that they amend this bill to exclude small-scale production. Though some of the bill may, in fact, protect the country's food supply, the engine behind the bill is Monsanto and it's desire to monopolyze food production in the country and to force the public to consume hybrid and genetically modified foods that they have invested in heavily but are meeting resistance in the market. http://www.anh-usa.org/who%E2%80%99s-trying-to-scuttle-the-amendment-that-protected-organic-and-family-farms-big-food-on-the-attack/ Remember, should anyone have as problem with what I post, I, Elaine Parny am solely responsible for what appears in this blog. Alot of people have said to me, "I don't care for politics". I'm here to tell you, you better get political TODAY when it comes to the food you eat because your choices are going to be getting fewer and fewer. Case in point, please look over the links I've posted to see how the seed industry (seeds being where most plant food originates), is being taken over and dictated by Mansanto and the government.

In addition to Food Culture becoming a hot topic in today's media, there is a growing interest in gardening, raising your own food. For the one who is contemplating the possibilities of urban or "backyard" gardening, or any other type of food production, now is a great time to "plant a seed". Seriously, as fall approaches, it's a good idea as a novice gardener to pick up some good publications as to what gardening is all about. With the winter cycle just a few months away, reading up on how to prepare the soil for next spring and making a plan as to what types of food you would like to produce is a good idea. One of my favorite late winter activities is the excitement of when seed catalogs begin to arrive in the mail. All their bright colors and promise of Spring's bounty, give me a burst of excitement that gets me through the coldest part of the year. Gardening to produce your own food not only has the rewards of your own fresh, delicious fruits, vegetables and herbs, you begin to appreciate the goodness of the earth in ways you might not have done so before. It's also a great time to make memories and teach your family what food is about and that they can have a part in providing for the table. I've found a great article that is a sort of primer for the beginning garden that has plenty of tips to include even the youngest members of the family in a wonderful gardening experience.
