permaculture

[BrandoM3@aol.com]

What we have to do is to help get rid of, or at least  openly-regulated 
factory farms and agri-business.  Show as graphically as  possible how they 
raise their cows, sheep, lambs etc and how they manufacture  vegetables.  
 
Meanwhile, we keep going with our permaculture, organic  gardens.

At the  end of this article, though, there is a place you can get a list of
GMO and  Non-GMO food producers - not produce.
Produce is easy at this point.   Simply buy organic.

Thanks for this, Jocelyn.
Very helpful.
I'm  going to post the sited article on the one you forwarded here about  
the
dangers of GMO foods on my facebook page.
Too many of my friends and  family still think I'm a nut for only  buying
organic.
