• Celebrating 200!

  One of the blogs I read, a vegan recipe blog called Vedged Out, recently made a big to do about its 100th post.  There were attractive photo links to all the recipes, some name dropping of distinguished followers of the blog,  much merriment and a well earned sense of accomplishment.  It is a great blog, with […]

• It’s personal

  My words today are personal.  I really hope readers will watch the 10 segments I recently posted of the illuminating documentary The World According to Monsanto.  Here is the first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry for this documentary: The World According to Monsanto is a 2008 documentary film directed by Marie-Monique Robin.  Originally released in […]

• A million a day keeps the labels away

  I found this article   (not exactly an Op-ed but in the same ballpark) written by Mark Bittman, food writer for the New York Times – a publication far removed from California where all the hullabaloo is happening around Prop 37, the proposal that asks voters to cast yes votes for labeling of most foods that […]

• Thank you Dr. Oz

  

  Yesterday, Dr. Oz devoted a segment of his show to GMO (aired Wednesday, October 18, 2012).   “Right now we have no way of knowing which foods have been genetically modified.  I believe you should have that right…I prefer to be cautious,” he said, at the conclusion of the segment titled GMO Foods: Are They Dangerous […]

• A new party?

  

  Ever since I saw the documentary Food Inc., I have been an admirer of Michael Pollan, pictured above (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Food Rules, In Defense of Food).  He was one of the talking heads in the movie – a periodic friendly face among horrifying scenes of animal cruelty and disturbing interviews with farmers being forced […]

• This Law Must Pass!

  Below I have another excerpt of a letter sent to my personal email from Organic Consumers Association leader Ronnie Cummins.  His passion for this cause is admirable.  I want to underscore one of the things he says below in his “reasons why California prop 37 should pass”. GMOs are everywhere. Today, most non-organic US corn, […]
