Do We Eat Organic in the US?


Not really. As you can see from the youtube video, organic regulations in this country are very loose... Here also an interesting article, mentioning wikileaks, which found out that the US are pushing the EU to deregulate GMO crops. Of course Monsanto is behind it all and gives tons of money to the current administration (Obama's).... If this occurs, we can say goodbye to Organic foods all over the world.



In the US, look what's happening: we now know why the Organic Trade Association (the largest policy and lobbying organization of the entire organic industry) has been mute on the GMO Labeling issue - their board of directors is in the pocket of big Ag and big business.  Check out this amazing expose on the real driving force behind the OTA. (Hint: it's green, but it's not organic.). Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/organicconsumer#p/f/1/FCK0MTS4mvI

And they want the same to happen in Europe so they can make big big bucks... 


The best way is to start our own garden and be part of a community garden. Those are growing everyday and are becoming very successful. The only set back is that we have to know how to garden!

Hopefully you guys can share this info as well. The more people know, the more we can fight against the "bad guys"!

Enjoy your reading!

Being back....!

Being back... You are all going to agree with me, there is no better place than the one that makes you feel fulfilled...  Well, I can say that having collaborating a while with Christine Lewicki - a great author, mother, mentor - has truly changed my professional and personal lives. Indeed, today I feel I am doing what I am supposed to do, what I was meant to do. And this is what I called being fulfilled. I am not saying I have achieved the success I am dreaming of but I can say I am on the path to achieving success just because I enjoy my life in all ways. Thank you Christine for the beautiful work you do with people. You are truly talented in finding each of our uniqueness and pushing us forward.
