Jeffrey Smith to Speak at Annual Michigan Organic Conference March 5th and 6th

How very exciting! Jeffrey Smith is author of “Seeds of Deception” and “Genetic Roulette,” books that educate consumers in simpler terms about the who, why, what, where and how of genetically engineered food.  Of the thousands of reasons to buy organic, we feel the absolute most important one is to avoid consuming genetically engineered foods and supporting the companies that produce them.  We will definitely be in East Lansing on the 5th and 6th to hear more about what we can do to stop the spread of these potentially harmful seeds from spreading into our food supply (It's already nearly impossible to buy GM-free seeds from FDA "approved" GM crops (Corn, Soy, Alfalfa, Cotton and now...Sugar Beets.))  Certified Organic Alfalfa seed, for example, must contain less that 5% GM seed to be sold as organic.
