On Sunday, we screened the film “Secret Ingredients“, about the dangers of GMO’s and the un-truths we have been fed, that GMO’s are safe and that we need them to feed the world. The film is very moving and gives us the tools necessary to protect ourselves from GMO’s. Basically, it confirms the need to eat organic, because even if you purchase a non-GMO product, it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been sprayed with RoundUp in the field, or during harvesting. Please watch the film! It has so much important information that we all need to know. With consumer education, we can create a movement that will push food companies into abandoning this technology, and return our food products to real food!

The conversation then switched to our pets, and how we can protect them? It turns out that cancer rates for animals have more than doubled, and we need to protect them too! The Institute for Responsible Technology has another website, Pets and GMO’s, which has lots of information, as well as a list of non-GMO pet foods.  I googled organic pet foods and found a bunch online.

Anheuser-Busch has come up with a creative way to sell more beer while helping farmers transition their fields to organic!

As consumers push for more organic foods, food companies are realizing there is a shortage of organically grown foods to meet the demand. The lack of organic farmland in the U.S. is a huge problem (less than 1%), and our government doesn’t offer enough incentives to help farmers make the transition to organic. Anheuser-Busch, the company that makes Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold Organic Beer, realizes that they will have a challenge getting enough organic barley for their product, so they came up with a way to make a significant impact on the system while helping farmers transition to organic.

In a 60-second commercial to air during Sunday’s Super Bowl, Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold organic beer will be introducing its 6 For 6-Pack program, and the key component of this initiative is that for every six-pack sold, the company will convert six square feet of U.S. farmland to organic. Launched in 2019, Contract for Change offers farmers an opportunity to transition their farmland to organic barley production. Now if more companies get on board, we could help farmers grow a variety of organic foods, so we don’t have to push them into another mono-crop production mode, and give them more resilience and opportunity to survive our changing climate.
