Brenton Johnson, Guest Waking Times 1. Locally grown food tastes better. Food grown in your own community is usually picked within the past day or two. It’s crisp, sweet, and loaded with flavor. Produce flown or trucked in from Florida, Chile, Mexico, or Holland is, quite understandably, much older. Several studies have shown that the …
Elizabeth Royte, Modern Farmer Waking Times One mainstream farmer is returning to conventional seed — and he’s not alone As an invulnerable tween, Chris Huegerich, the child of a prosperous farming family, wiped out on his motorcycle in tiny Breda, Iowa.

Paul Fassa, Natural Society Waking Times The mainstream media (MSM) usually lamely refers to GMO issues as an undecided debate or controversy, depicting anti-GMO people as “emotional” and “unreasonable” while claiming genetic engineering is more “scientific”. But the only “science” the MSM is exposed to are press releases from the bio-tech industry. The fact is, numerous …
Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times If you haven’t already heard of the Grocery Manufacturer’s of America and their aims at stopping Initiative 522 from passing in Washington just days from now, you will shortly.

Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society Waking Times International outrage against Monsanto and GMOs by activists and concerned citizens at large is paying off once again.

Barbara H. Peterson, Farm Wars Waking Times Yes, life as we know it is ending. It is being replaced by designer genes constructed in a lab and set loose on the environment with reckless abandon.

Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease Waking Times As one of the few nations in the world with a GMO-free platform, Russia does not allow any cultivation of GMOs for commercial purposes.

Dr. Mercola Waking Times Truth becomes treason in an empire of lies. Attacks against health web sites like yours truly and others, and our readers—yes, that would be you—are rapidly escalating.

Heidi Stevenson, Gaia-Health Waking Times Genetically modified organisms are a terrifying development when we know they exist, but there’s a new system of creating GMOs that’s getting a complete pass. By fiat, our governments are allowing a process that produces genetically modified ‘foods’ for sale with absolutely no oversight. They can be called natural, or …
Lauren Berlekamp, EcoWatch Waking Times Whether you believe genetically engineered (GE) foods ought to be labeled or you believe they ought to be outright banned, this very debate means bad news for notorious Big Ag biotech giant Monsanto.

Barbara H. Peterson, Guest Waking Times It seems that the rest of the world is catching up to what a few of us have known for quite some time, and that is, “organic” is not necessarily “organic.” The “organic” status of any product appears to rest solely on the honesty and integrity of the company …
Eric Draven, Guest Waking Times Everyday, more and more people are waking up and discovering that Monsanto and their many products are being found to be a hazard to human health. It does not matter how much PR money Monsanto spends, people all over the world are realizing the truth. Last year’s first real independent GMO study conducted …
Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease Waking Times There are many arguments in favor of mandatory labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Barbara H. Peterson, Guest Waking Times There has been a lot of talk lately about how “organic” USDA Certified Organic really is.

Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times Don’t believe the hype and the lies. Pull the wool away from your eyes and realize that Monsanto, Dow, Syngenta, and the other companies in support of GMO crops are bamboozling all of us. We can feed the world without herbicides and pesticides that cause cancer, upset the endocrine system and cause …
Mike Adams, Natural News Waking Times There are over five thousand species of mammals on planet Earth, but only one of them is insane. It also turns out there is only one species of mammal that intentionally poisons itself (and its children) by injecting toxic, neuro-damaging chemicals into most members of the species. That species …
