'GMO-free' is fastest-growing retailer brand claim

The fastest growing health and wellness claim among store brands in 2009 was "GMO free," with sales of these items up 67% to $60.2 million, says Tom Pirovan of Nielsen Co.

The great thing about this new report is that it shows how quickly the market responds when it sees a shift in consumer demand. And even better, that there are starting to be enough of us out there who care about where our food comes from and what's in it that we're actually starting to reshape the food system!

I know we still have a big fight ahead of us, but it's important to take a step back every now and then and celebrate the small victories along the way.

So... Way to go, guys!! Keep spreading the word and supporting brands that use good practices!

From starrjaded on YouTube:

Please send the USDA your thoughts about releasing Genetically Engineered Alfalfa! We have until February 16th 2010. A 60-day comment period is now open until February 16, 2010. This is the first time the USDA has done this analysis for any GE crop, so the final decision will have broad implications for all GE crops. The failure of the agency to address the impacts of GE alfalfa will have far-reaching consequences for farmers and organic consumers. Let's not be Monsanto's guinea pigs! Also in my state of Oregon a similar GE sugar beet case is pending the results of the Alfalfa court case. THIS IS OUR WINDOW! If we allow GE alfalfa to be planted then it will open the flood gates for all GE CROPS to be introduced into our food supplies! TAKE ACTION TODAY PLS! Be on the right side of history, take 15 sec's and send the USDA your thoughts with a pre written letter (you can change at will :)

Right now, huge numbers of

Right now, huge numbers of small farms across France which were known worldwide for their cheeses, are gone. The were to sell cheeses their families had profitably sold for generations because they suddenly couldn't meet the new corporate EU "food safety" standards, (See the PBS show "The Cheese Nun" for a view of this.) Those standards were arranged carefully by corporations specifically to get rid of farmers and S 510 is designed to "harmonize" with those EU laws. Promotional Items
