Now that the DARK ACT has been defeated and all our friendly neighborhood Big Food purveyors are starting to jump on board with labeling, it is time to make sure YOU know what it is!

is our answer to the the proverbial New Yorker’s breakfast. We have eschewed that #BaconEggandCheeseonaRoll habit in favor of this variation, which is nutrient rich, toxin free, and absolutely scrumptious!!!
We used these organic ingredients:
Before we go on, let’s review that scripture, shall we?
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant 🌽🌾 on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. 🍊🍎🍋They will be yours for food.
And just for good measure, let’s peep the next verse also:
30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.🌿🌱” And it was so.
I like to consider these verses while I’m shopping for food:
🌾Seed-bearing plant = grains, including nuts and seeds = the English Muffins, the vegan cheese is made largely of Coconut oil
🍋Tree with fruit with seed in it = the avocado, olives & olive oil, pepper (yes, that’s a fruit!), apple cider vinegar
💖Thank you God, You’re AWESOME!💖
The salt was the only thing that didn’t fit any of these, but the many positive references to salt in The Bible give me God’s go ahead on that – in moderation, of course.
Breakfast for you AND your children! 😊😊😊

#BoycottMonsanto
I downloaded Buycott on my iPhone a couple of weeks ago and have been test driving both the app and the website link access actively since. Signup was simple using my Facebook account.
How it Works: You can join campaigns started by other users. Each campaign you join has a list of corporations that you either should (Buycott) or should not (Boycott) patronize. Then, as you shop, you can scan the barcode of any item you’re considering buying to see if it goes against your ethos – the large database of products are all linked to their parent corporations, which are linked to your campaigns, and, as long as there is a strong enough signal in the store, you get an instant answer.
How Well it Works: I cross checked many of the products via product labels and online research to determine the veracity of the corporate chain links on all the products we checked, and they all checked out to
be correctly identified and flagged. In most cases, there were live source links for corporations and brands so you could quickly view the reasoning behind their presence in the buycott/boycott.
I did, nonetheless, find one corporation, Hain Celestial, that the GMO supporting companies to avoid & Good Labels to Buy campaign has on their “avoid” list. The large natural and organic food supplier verified their support of mandatory GMO labeling in a March 2013 press release. Unfortunately, there was no easy way to either communicate this or fix it. We posted on that campaign’s comment board more than a week ago, but it appears that the comment has not been seen, and Hain remains in the wrong section of that campaign’s target list. I just messaged the campaign organizer. I will post in comments if I get a reply.
The Weight Up on Buycott
Pros:
Cons:
No clear way to report an inaccuracy or out of date information
Overall: Buycott has been a huge help in supporting my civic duty to make conscious decisions in purchasing. Caveat emptor still applies: be aware. No app should ever replace your personal responsibility to do your own homework.
Thank you, Ivan Pardo, for this revolutionary contribution to the future of human empowerment!
This is a list of Monsanto’s companies courtesy of True Activist.
Monsanto has spent more than $4.7 Million lobbying for the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015, more accurately known as the DARK Act (Deny Americans the Right to Know). The act would deny states the right to require labeling of foods containing GMOs, and would stop future regulation of GMOs in agriculture. Genetically Modification exists only to protect their interest, but numerous studies have shown that prolonged consumption of GMOs can have adverse effects on YOUR health.
Preserve our Right to Know. #BoycottMonsanto today!
