iEat Green - An Interview with Jeffrey Smith, Author of “Seeds of Deception” and producer of the documentary film,”Genetic Roulette” - 04/24/14

This week, my guest on the Progressive Radio Network is Jeffrey Smith, an expert, and a leader in the fight to remove GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms) from our food system. We hear a lot about the fight to get GMO’s labeled, and our “Right to Know” what’s in our food, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could even take it one step further, and remove GMO’s from our food system entirely! Jeffrey Smith is an expert on the subject and the author of the book, Seeds of Deceptions, and the producer of the documentary film, Genetic Roulette:The Gamble of Our Lives.  By the way, Genetic Roulette is screening this Saturday, at The Waldorf School of Garden City, on Long Island. The film shows the scientific evidence that connects the ingesting of GMO’s to increased gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and infertility, and it’s increased danger to children. It is also an in-depth exposé of Monsanto’s connections within our government, and how the USDA and FDA ignore the evidence and growing health concerns, caused by GMO’s, to side with big industry. Similar to the corruption taking place within the fracking industry, our food system has been bought out by the likes of Monsanto and Syngenta, along with the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA), where our governmental agencies care more about keeping corporations happy, then the health of the people. This is a subject that I am passionate about, and I hope you will join our conversation, as Jeffrey Smith shares with us some of the latest studies on GMO’s and together, we explore the growing movement to label these ingredients in our foods and what each of us can do to help win our “Right to Know!
