Are you ready to meet a passionate advocate for organic foods & GMO awareness? Between “organic” labels and all the crazy diets, the politics of health and good eating can be confusing.
I interviewed Elizabeth Kucinich, the Director of Policy for the Center for Food Safety to help you get to the bottom of this confusion. You will learn about the effects of GMO foods and how we can make a difference through choosing food consciously. But she goes deeper than scientific reasoning. She elaborates on why our food choices today will affect us tomorrow and all futures to come. She states that, “You are responsible for the future.”
It is a great deal to digest. But don’t worry, Elizabeth helps us navigate this very charged topic with ideas on how to easily make the right food choices for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
What can You Do Today
to Improve all Tomorrows?
Understand your are responsible. It is overwhelming to think about changing a whole government, nation or world. Don’t think of the overwhelming factors instead focus on the things you can do to be an advocate for the causes dear to your heart. Small changesare big changes.
Look for the positive in your community. Get involved and see what’s happening. You are not alone. Take care of your ecosystem by taking care of yourself. Volunteer at a local chapter or grow your own garden. Small changes are big changes.
Be conscious of what you eat. Be knowledgeable about where your food comes from and how it’s grown. Putting chemicals in your body is hurting yourself (your ecosystem), which hurts the world.
