One Woman's Experience with GMO Corn via Elle Magazine

Elle Magazine published a story of a woman's experience with GMO Corn.

I applaud Elle for being willing to publish this story.
Please read it and leave a comment for Elle thanking them for sharing this information with their readers.

The more this issue becomes mainstream, the more influence we can have on our food supply.

The Bad Seed: The Health Risks of Genetically Modified Corn

With symptoms including headaches, nausea, rashes, and fatigue, Caitlin Shetterly visited doctor after doctor searching for a cure for what ailed her. What she found, after years of misery and bafflement, was as unlikely as it was utterly common.

15% Off Seventh Generation Products? Count Me IN!

Currently, Vine.com is having a sale on many of its natural products, including Seventh Generation brand household items. They are also offering free two day shipping, so now is the perfect time to give them a try!

Personally, Seventh Generation powdered dishwasher detergent is the only one we use. Normally I don't find naturally products very effective, which gets frustrating. However, when we relocated to Bellingham, our dishes never came clean in our dishwasher. We tried super cleaning the inside of the dishwasher, and tested lots of detergents, rinse aids, and two homemade detergent recipes. one day, our local store store had a sale on Seventh Generation, so we gave it a try. Our dishes come out spotless. Not even a gross film.

Seventh Generation coupons are nearly impossible to come by, and the sales are few and far between. We did discover that even though our local Target still sells it at the same price as everyone else, $5.99, theirs is the 75 oz box instead of the 45 oz box, so that's where we buy it.

Vine.com's price for the 75 oz box of automatic dish powder is $9.45, or .126 an oz. However, their 45 oz box is on sale for $4.05, or .09 an oz. The best deal would still be if your local Target does the same thing mine does, which comes out to be .079 an oz. Otherwise, this is a great deal.

Vine.com carries 134 other Seventh Generation products, as well as many other familiar brands, and they offer 20% off your first order (not sure if that discount and sale prices can be combined).

I have never used Vince.com before and have not been compensated in any way for telling you I use Seventh Generation products. I just really like not being disappointed when I open the dishwasher after a wash cycle.

True or False: Certified Organic Dairy means the animals are not fed GMO's?

Stonyfield issued a statement concerning the use of GMO feed on animals that produce the dairy for their Organic Yogurt.

Truth be told, I've thought about this before and I was always curious if you could feed a cow nonorganic feed and still call the yogurt produced organic-- as long as you don't introduce anything nonorganic to the yogurt itself.

According to Stonyfield-- to be certified organic you MUST also use organic feed.

You can read their statement HERE

I love that they are willing to clarify this for their customers.

$1.00 off 2 baby Spinach

Sorry for the lack of posts. I only post if I think it's a good deal or something I would actually be interested in buying. And when I get an email for 10% off a $500 organic comforter set, I just don't think that's good enough to post about. I am interested in quality here, folks, not quantity.

So here's a nice little coupon from Earthbound Farms.
Throw a handful of spinach in your smoothie. You won't even taste it.
