Question:<\/h3>\n

What is your opinion on GMO foods?<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/h3>\n

GMO foods are to be avoided like the plague! Nature makes the perfect foods. Genetic modification only serves to allow seed companies and food producers to control our food supply. As I feel very strongly about food choices affecting our health, I have included this as my First Pillar of Health, in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – <\/a><\/i><\/b>The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally<\/i><\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As well as extensive dietary recommendations that help people understand how to eat better, balance pH, comments on dairy, sugar, and organic,\u00a0 some recipes are included.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to get political on my website, however having the right to choose to eat healthy food has become somewhat politicized, and it is a definite health issue, so I am making this exception. In many countries of the world people are facing the same issues.<\/p>\n

There is huge pressure in both Canada and US by food producers to NOT label GMO foods, or to do it deceptive<\/b>ly, so no can be sure whether th<\/b>\"\"ey are <\/b>eating real tomatoes, or tomatoes spliced with fish genes.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

This is contrast to many European countries that will not even allow GMO food or seeds to cross their borders!<\/p>\n

In Canada, Elizabeth May from Green Party, has been working hard to ensure farmers and consumers are protected and well-informed about the food grown and purchased in Canada.<\/p>\n

For years the Greens have demanded:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0* \u00a0\u00a0Mandatory labeling for all GE ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n

* \u00a0\u00a0GE-free food zones<\/b><\/p>\n

* \u00a0\u00a0Independent research of GE crops and their effects on people <\/b><\/p>\n

* \u00a0\u00a0A ban on the introduction of new GE products like salmon and alfalfa in Canada<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>You can help us win this fight!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Please take a minute to sign our online petition<\/a> and then download a copy, collect signatures from people of all ages in your community, and return it postage free to Elizabeth May\u2019s parliamentary office.<\/p>\n

Signed paper petitions will be presented to the House of Commons by Elizabeth, to request action from the Government of Canada.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thank you for your support, and for creating the change you want to see in Canada.<\/p>\n
