You too can take a big stand against GMOs

(NewsTarget) A growing number of people are understanding the incredible dangers of GMO foods and are consciously avoiding them. Many people also wish there was more they could do to put an end to this genetically manipulative and destructive food experiment. Fortunately, there is...

As it turns out, many people running restaurants and delis right in your town are incredibly ill-informed about GMOs. In fact, if you go into many of these places and ask if the corn or canola oil they use is organic or GMO, more often than not, you'll be met with a blank look instead of an informed answer. Often, they'll tell you they've never been asked this question before.

So, what can you do? Pick five or ten restaurants or delis in your area and go in and ask to speak to the manager. If there's a corporate office, make sure you get the number and the right person to speak to. Then, when you have the right person in front of you or on the phone, ask if the corn, canola oil, soybean oil, miso, corn chips and other common GMO items they use are organic or GMO. More often than not, they'll be conventionally grown, which means they are more than likely genetically modified.

Now, you'll probably need to do some education about what genetically modified foods are. A key point is that it's been proven that some genetically modified genes can and do transfer into our healthy bacteria - and some common GM genes are designed to end reproductive ability and produce pesticides continuously. Then, nicely ask them how they would feel about being part of a largely untested experiment that likely transfers scientifically derived genes - including genes that continually produce pesticides and end reproductive ability - into their community? Let them know that, unfortunately, that's what they're doing by using GMO foods in their establishment.

Be sure they understand that all of the foods they use don't need to be organic (although that would be nice), but avoiding the main GMO foods are essential. The main GMO foods are soy, corn, canola, cotton (cottonseed oil), sugar beets (which are made into sugar), Hawaiian papaya and all products derived from them, like soy sauce, tofu, and canola oil. Other GMO crops are zucchini, yellow squash, and soon likely salmon and rice from China.

When they switch these common GMO ingredients over to organic, encourage them to state on their menu or ingredient lists that these foods are organic and non-GMO; this way a growing number of people who consciously avoid GMOs won't continue to avoid their establishments.

If you have like-minded friends, ask them to take part too. And if you're not getting the response you want from key establishments, have your friends contact them a week or two later as well. Sometimes hearing about these things from a few customers can be far more effective than hearing about it from just one. If you're on a roll, you can obviously do more than five or ten restaurants or delis. Imagine the satisfaction you'll feel from protecting your community and taking a big stand to get GMOs out of the food supply.

Jeffery Smith, the leading advocate against GMOs, tells us that if only 5 percent of consumers reject GMOs, it may be enough to get them out of our food supply - permanently. By switching over the buying habits of big consumers like restaurants and delis, it'll be much easier to achieve.

About the author

Kim Evans is a natural health writer and author of Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse. Cleaning Up! offers deep cleansing and using methods in this book, people have gotten rid of dozens of different types of health problems, as well as just losing excess weight, thinking more clearly, and feeling better.

Kim's next book chronicles events in her life that happen to match patterns in the Bible. She's also found three places in the Bible that tell us its about these patterns and even asking you to match them.
Here's a little from the upcoming book...
In Isaiah 22:20, it says, "And it must occur in that day that I will call my servant, namely Eliakim." But, because these prophecies are cryptic and they aren't meant to be understood until they are understood, it's only the last three letters.
A few lines later, it says, "From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them."
Here, you just take out any three middle letters, and again, it's the name of the person bringing you this message, or the sacred secret of the prophecy. Actually, if you take those two passages, Kim is about the only name you can get from both of them.
In Numbers 1:1 – 1:18, it's talking about "the family" and mentions Pagiel. It also twice mentions February 1st, (Kim's birthday) and then says that the youngest is 20 years old. Kim's little sister Paige is currently 20 years old.
In Chronicles 1 11:20 it mentions the brother of Joab and then in the same sentence uses the word brandishing. Kim's middle name is Jo and her older sister's name is Brandi. There are other patterns to her sisters too but these sort of mention them by name.
Of course, it helps if you know that there is a magical spiritual reality available that comes deep cleansing and often major dietary upgrades. It's also why Jesus was teaching the same thing, if you find his teachings in the Essene Gospel of Peace. In this text, he even says things like, "You'll never see the father unless you clean your colon." But, this is paraphrased...
In the Bible Jesus says things more like, happy are those who wash their robes, as they can enter the tree of life. The tree of life is elsewhere explained as God's paradise. He also said, first clean the inside of the cup and then the outside will also be clean.
