The Campaign for Healthier Eating in America
Genetically modified foods are linked to toxic and allergic reactions, sick, sterile, and dead livestock, and damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals. They are banned in Europe and elsewhere, yet GMOs are present in the vast majority of processed foods in the US.
There is now widespread consumer rejection of genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH or rbST) as a result of education about the health dangers and the natural foods industry making rbGH-free brands readily available.
The next big consumer tidal wave will be the complete rejection of remaining GMOs in food products. The purchasing power of the tens of millions of health-conscious shoppers will inspire a new tipping point where GMOs can be pushed out of the entire food supply in the US.
Join the millions of health-conscious consumers, leaders in the natural foods industry, growers, healthcare professionals, schools, religious groups and other concerned organizations who are supporting The Campaign for Healthier Eating in America.
Use our website materials to educate yourself, download the Non-GMO Shopping Guide to avoid GMOs when shopping, and the materials in the Campaign Kit will help educate and inspire others. Ask your natural foods retailer to place a Non-GMO Education Center in their store, or get one for your organization to use.
Join the Campaign NOW!

Alive reviews Genetic Roulette
On writing the highly acclaimed Seeds of Deception (Yes! Books) in 2003, Jeffrey M.
