    ONL051 Are you eating Franken-foods? GMOs are Everywhere

    images-5.jpgJeffrey M. Smith did not set out to become the foremost expert on the dangers of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). However, since 1996 he has made telling others about the risks of GM foods his life’s work. What he has learned is that these unnatural foods put the health of people, animals, and the environment at great risk. If you buy conventionally processed foods at a supermarket or eat at restaurants, you are eating GMO food. The fact that a food has been modified with viruses or bacteria is not required to be included on a food’s label. At Our Natural Life, we want to support Jeffrey’s goals by getting the word out to as many people as possible. Please support us in our effort to educate. Our Podcast interview with Jeffrey can be found in the link below. You can also access the Podcast from iTunes, Zune, Tivo, and Stitcher.
