Reform your schools' nutrition program; genetically-modified foods (GMO) are largely untested for safety

Genetically-modified foods are digested by us every day... did you know that they are largely untested for safety? We don't know if there are any problems eating GMO (genetically modified organism) farmed foods as we speak. A video approximately 30 minutes long substantiates the lack of science behind human consumption of GM foods; it is on the Disinfo.com web site.

Included in the above video, is a case study of a school in Appleton, Wisconsin, that removed GM foods from their campus and instituted mostly healthy foods. In just three years a dramatic improvement in student behavior occurred. There is a web site supporting the reform of food safety and nutrition for schools across the USA-- it's called GM Free Schools. Please check it out and see if you would like to help institute their solutions in your schools.
