Kashi Lovers Beware!!!

Kashi Lovers you are getting more than you hoped for!! EEK
Ah Kashi!! I once enjoyed your selection....That was before I knew you were giving me more than I wanted. 

My family stopped consuming Kashi brand items 2 years ago. I began researching more and more the importance of ingredient labels. Kashi is not an organic product. So, (due to my tendency to be extreme), I let go of Kashi. I figured if a company is marketing themselves to be natural (which by the way,"natural" can mean anything), Why can' t they just be Organic? What is keeping them from the organic status? 

I just left them alone..... Which is a good thing. 

They were tested for genetically modified organisms ,and came up positive for GMO soy. Genetically modified organisms have been banned in many european countries. These GMO foods have proven track records to promote sterility, cancer, endocrine disturbances, just to name a few. The USA is lagging in their response to the public request of labeling foods. 

I write this blog post to inform you of the importance of food. Why it is important to be proactive in what we are putting into our bodies. For more information on these genetically modified organisms: visit the organicconsumers.org
