We are participating in a Food Experiment today. This was one of the basic premises of the people's initiative called Prop 37 that aimed to give the Right to Know what was in our food through labeling GMO's.
The California Yes on 37 Campaign literature said, "Today, in the United States, by the simple act of feeding ourselves we unknowingly participate in the largest experiment even conducted on human beings." The move to Label it will not be halted. It goes forward in many places, in states and nationally.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley MD, the man who many called the Father of the FDA, set out in 1902 to test poisons he thought were in our food supply thought bringing together volunteers and knowingly feeding them poisons. These poisons were used to to make foods more commercially possible through adding preservatives, and other adulterants. He went on to inspire the passage of a Pure Food and Drug Law in 1906 that basically outlawed the junk food we have today, however, special interests, out for commercial gain, blocked the enforcement of his law.
Today, i believe we are eating poisons and processed foods that create toxic conditions in the body.
The difference between Dr Willey's experiments and the experiment going on today is that no one asked us if we wanted to be on a "Poison Squad," the name given to Dr Wiley's experimental group.
Today, we are in an experiment but no one knows that they are eating something that goes untested. This is a point reiterated by Dr. David Schubert, a Salk Institute Scientist, when he spoke as part of a GMO Panel at the UCSD October 23, 2012. (See raw video clip below.)
Labeling initiatives inspired by grassroots groups, and legislation on state and Federal levels will not stop until this Right to Know is accomplished.
Labeling could help at monitor the possible harmful results of potential GMO poisoning. Lots of evidence is beginning to show up that GMO's may not be safe; and yet GMO Labeling, is just the beginning of the massive increase in awareness that will be needed to regain our health.
This book, "Grow A Healthier Pizza" aims to raise the awareness needed in support of these labeling measures. To regain our health, I believe many more gardeners are needed, not just gardening, but recognizing that the essential purpose of the seed, and food, is to give us what we need to fully express.
Dr. Bernard Jensen, the elder of the healing arts who introduced me to some of the principles of natural healing, once said that we cannot break the Natural Laws. We break ourselves on the natural laws. What better place to begin growing a heathy economy than to see that the earth and the soul are soil mates? For those with a little soil, one pot a gardener does make. With those with no soil, grow food vertically, We do both at home. I recommend growing food in pots, as well as the Tower Garden. The ultimate aim would be to grow food in soil from compost that you make yourself, returning all organic food to the soil.
The signs that we are aging too fast, that our personal health conditions are the result of laws we have broken, feels apparent in my own life and the life of those I see, and yet there are those among us who at age 90 feel 60. What are they doing that you and I can do?
Voices from the Past, Present, and Future would agree that it is time to Grow A Healthier Pizza
The information about Natural Laws are well documented in the books of the educators of previous and the current generation. Many of them were Voices from the past, present, and future who would agree that it is time to Grow A Healthier Pizza. Through this writing, I want to influence the coming together of a Mature Integrative Medicine. I want to influence the lives of a few more kids in the science class room. I want to inspire you to see that the future of America the Beautiful is tied in with your deepest dreams growing,
Food Reform in America is My Aim
Food Reform in America is my aim. The Campaign to Grow A Healthier Pizza is about not only recognizing we need The Right to Know what is in our food. We also need to regain our beat with nature; This comes from hands on experiences growing food and coming into right relationship with the sacredness of the seed. We are being called home by the earth to have intimate knowledge of Nature's Original Technology. Only then will Science stand on truth. The Right to Know goes hand in hand with the Know how to grow some of our food. It is the act of growing seeds, seeing them go through the organic steps that can remedy some of our brokenness. We no longer see that one thing is connected to another. I call this Plant Parenthood. As we grow plants, we parent them. They too, reparent us.
Pizza is Now the Most Popular Food In America; therefore, We Will Grow A Healthier Pizza.
Somehow this flatbread from Naples, Italy conquered America, and is now considered by many to be our most popular food. From New York's thin to Chicago's deep, any way you slice it America loves it's Pizza!--About.com:Pizza inside and out
If Pizza has become the most popular food in America, then we will Grow a Healthier Pizza. If Two Ounces of Tomato Sauce, now defines Pizza as a Vegetable, as many in Congress voted in November 2011, then, we will Grow A Healthier Pizza.
Take these steps then for Food Reform in America: Begin with getting your fingers in real dough grown from ancient wheat and tomatoes grown from seeds that have been growing the same way for generations.
An educated Grassroots movement is growing now. Many more learned about GMO's from the Labeling initiative in California in 2012 called Prop 37; many more will have their eyes opened as labeling of GMOs becomes more and more an issue in the public eye.
From my point of view, we are a generation that has been Genetically Modified. Living beyond this Genetically Engineered Era with come as we see we are being called to live in The Enchanted Garden Era. Our entirely different relationship to the earth is emerging. Together, let us Win Back Our Sacred Seed. We can grow some of our own food.

TWO OUNCES OF TOMATO SAUCE DEFINES PIZZA AS A VEGETABLE
HERE IS SOME FASCINATING RESEARCH ON THE POISON SQUAD
"Fortunately for pure food advocates, but perhaps unfortunately for the men who found themselves under his microscope, Harvey Wiley's experiments weren't restricted to dogs alone. In the fall of 1902, working from an act of Congress that allowed "the Secretary of Agriculture to investigate the character of food preservatives, coloring matters, and other substances added to foods, to determine their relation to digestion and health, and to establish the principles which should guide their use," Harvey Wiley undertook what eventually became known as the "poison squad" experiments.8 As the Post explained it on November 21, 1902, at the start of the tests, "the United States government on next morning will open, for the first time in history, a scientific boarding-house, under the direction of Prof. Wiley:" --

"The Question is that this is a Safety Issue.
I think the technology can be done safely, but now...
the major issue is the safety testing issue..."--Dr. David Schubert
There is no required safety testing for these organisms...
No one is dying like flies...this argument is simply not valid.
There is no way to know...
"The Population is being experimented on."
No Long term Human studies in Humans...
Very contentious issue.
Results not outstanding for short term studies.
Serilini...study comments...
This is a safety issue. GMO's are not tested adequately. We are participating in an experiment.--Dr. David Schubert says.
WHEN DID WE VOLUNTEER TO BE PART OF A " POISON SQUAD" TRYING OUT UNTESTED TECHNOLOGY IN OUR FOOD SUPPLY?
To be written....
BASIC DOCUMENTS IN THE 2013 CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA ARE HERE AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
These materials aim to help us get our beat back with nature. Through the simple action of growing ancient grains and heirloom seeds, we can reestablish our connection to growing health and our dreams.
