Salmon Lovers Beware!
The FDA is getting ready to approve genetically engineered salmon and it won't be labeled. It will be up to you to guess if the salmon you're buying is genetically engineered or not.
Read the article.
As we've seen frequently in the recent and distant past, the FDA has a history of making decisions that are not in the best interest of the consumer, but rather in the interest of the industry. In fact, a statement made by Former FDA Commissioner, Dr. Herbert Ley, makes it real clear that the FDA is not interested in protecting you...
"The thing that bugs me is that people think the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it’s doing are as different as night and day."
That's right from the horses mouth.
So, now that you know that the FDA has no interest in protecting you, but is committed to protecting the profits of big business, it's up to you to protect yourself.
Here are some links to resources to help you protect yourself.

ADHD and Pesticides
A study earlier this year examined the relationship between organophosphate pesticide exposure in children ages 8-15 and the incidence of ADHD.
The "findings support the hypothesis that organophosphate exposure, at levels common among US children, may contribute to ADHD prevalence."
You can read the article here, though it is quite technical.
This is a good reason to eat organic, especially now that there are so many GMO crops used in processed foods. The use of pesticides on GMO crops is far heavier than on non-GMO crops because the GMO seeds are engineered to withstand high levels of Monsanto's Roundup pesticide.
