Dear Friend, We know how busy life can be. Sometimes we become so wrapped up in it that very important issues escape our attention. Don't let this issue go unattended because it pertains to you and everyone you care about, yet very few people are fully aware of it. As ambassadors of the 5 pillars of health and balanced living, which brings new hope and purpose to the future, there is a sense of responsibility to be aware of issues, like this one, that can influence our future in a very unhealthy manner. Reports and research about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's) being incorporated in our crops and foods are very disturbing considering the lack of evidence supporting the safety of this process and growing evidence that it is very risky at best. The foods another generating new enzymes and proteins never before found in the human diet. Many scientists believe this process is not only reckless but potentially very dangerous to our long term health and the environment as genetic mistakes or miscalculations can never be reversed or cleaned up, they are passed on to all future generations of a species. One can't help to wonder; why are we being exposed to these unnecessary risks? With an avalanche of genetically engineered patents poised to flood into the marketplace of America, it is critical time to be informed and active on this issue, as the future consequences of this technology on our health and our environment are, potentially, staggering. The following letters were sent from a consumer group that is organizing a strong stand against GMO's and a petition drive for the mandatory labeling of any genetically engineered components placed in our foods so, at the very least, we can choose whether to eat them or not. Please give serious consideration to the actoin steps outlined in the letter. Together we can make the healthy difference. There are some GMO info links on the web site of www.americangrowers.com if you would like to your own investigation of this issue. The unbiased, independent studies are the ones addressing serious questions and concerns. Wishing you and your families a safe and healthy future. Sincerely, Kevin Spader
