Pesticides

I know we must take action against pesticides in our foods. If we don't, who will?

I would also invite your to join Peticides and You. I get nothing but better health for the planet in doing this.

Louise--

Thanks for posting the link. We all need to get involved in saving our food

supply from the corporate interests that are actively trying to destroy it.

Even more devastating are the machinations of the Codex Alimentarius committee,

whose world-governing food and supplement laws will go into effect Dec. 31,

2009. If allowed to go forward, Codex will unleash a deadly arsenal of

previously banned pesticides into our food supply, and all produce will have to

be irradiated-- and that's just for starters. Here is one link for news and

Hi Angie,

I know just how you feel. The good news, though, is that there are some great

people working on this issue, and they are making progress. . . and each of us

can be part of that progress by working in our own communities to educate our

legislators and our friends, and help to get a strong grassroots movement going.

The worst thing we can do is give up because we think it's a done deal. It's

scheduled to go into effect Dec. 31, 2009, but negotiations are going on.

Already, the South African delegates to Codex have made such a stink about the

mandate to put fluoride in baby formula (yes, isn't that gross?!) that it was

finally taken off the table. There's lots more work to do though, and activists

are badly needed. Check out the Natural Solutions Foundation. They have a

great video -- much of which you can see on Google videos for free, and you can

also buy it and show it in your community-- and a lot of other great ways for

individuals to get involved and make a

difference.
