Genetically Engineered Right to Know

We need to do something about this. We may have succeeded in getting a garden onto the White House Lawn, and food safety is at the top of many people's minds - let's do something bigger and more impactful.

I'm totally disgusted and angry at the whole GMO situation, and that our President is apparently unaware of how perverted the new bill going to congress that's supposed to "protect us" is.

Take the time to watch this video entirely. It's worth every minute.

They are dedicated to saving seeds that could actually go extinct. It is so important for people to know what they are actually eating. If more and more people grow there own food, perhaps we the people can send a message.; ▶ Reply to This

amna mufti commented on amna mufti's photo 'turnips'

I don't eat turnip greens but some people use them in a mixture of other leaves i;e.mustard, fenugeri ,spinach and turnip greens.These leaves are collected when very young, the variety is also different.
