JUST SAY NO TO GMO

 

signs for March Against Monsanto Asheville NC 2015

First off, let’s start from the beginning. What is a GMO?

GMO stands for “genetically modified organism.”  It is an organism whose DNA has been artificially altered in a laboratory.  As an example, some plants have been genetically engineered to tolerate exceedingly high amounts of herbicides & insecticides, which are extremely detrimental to our health & the environment.

Quickly taking over supermarket shelves, GMOs are now contained in as much as 80% of conventional processed food.

Many countries (more than 60), including Japan, Australia, & Europe, have realized the dangers of GMOs and have heavily restricted or banned them entirely.  Sadly, in the United States GMOs do not require safety testing and are not even required to be labeled. read more…

ESCAPE TO TYBEE + A STOP IN SAVANNAH

Back in the flat lands of Georgia, I couldn’t help but feel slightly at home– in a deep familiarity type of way.  Something of the smell, the feeling, the unseen vibrations took me back to my past- since once upon a time growing up, Georgia was the only place I knew.

Stopping into a grocery store for (healthy) snacks and beer (of course) to bring back to the camp site, the flowers and plants displayed out front reminded me of my childhood.

I was here for the beach — the sun, the sand & salt water of Tybee Island, and Savannah just happened to be a convenient distraction along the way.

I stayed in a state park south of Savannah.  It was surrounded by water, and driving in the sunset across the backdrop was simply gorgeous.  It always feels good to be by the water.

Once evening set in, there were lots of deer.  They were small and their eyes were watchful & intent.  They grazed in the early dark of night peacefully.
