Moms Across America has many low-income supporters who have stated that it seems too costly to go organic. But more and more, we are also hearing from underprivileged area moms who are making the effort and making it work within their budget.

In fact, the first store in America to label food GMO was in Detroit, in the past one of the lowest income, most crime-ridden areas in the country. They have had other concerns, like violence, drugs, death and gangs that could trump food concerns. Recently, however, 20,000 volunteers a weekend are “greening” Detroit with over 1,200 organic urban farms and community solidarity is making a comeback! Americans see that genetically engineered and pesticide sprayed food contributes to mental illness, acts of violence, depression, poor school and job performance, etc. Doctors report that 90% of the children in low-income areas have diabetes and/or obesity. Allergies, autism and autoimmune disease is skyrocketing. It really is true that when moms say, "health comes first." Without health, we cannot function properly to do or enjoy other things in life like our career, schoolwork, family, and relationships.

Resultados perturbadores de la prueba de toxina en niños estadounidenses y muestras de alimentos

Impacto sorprendente para consumidores sin gluten, veganos, vegetarianos y orgánicos

PARA PUBLICACIÓN INMEDIATA:

mayo 5, 2017 Mission Viejo, CA- Mamás en toda América releases their report on their recent findings of toxins in 36 American children, tested at Great Plains Lab, along with results from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA). The results are disturbing and have an important message for Gluten Free, Vegan and Vegetarian American consumers and food manufacturers.

 “100% de todos los niños dieron positivo para toxinas graves. 79% de los niños evaluados tenían TDAH o síntomas de autismo, 21% no. Más del 50% probó niveles positivos de 3 X más altos que el promedio. Esperábamos que los niños que comieron orgánicos tuvieran niveles más bajos de toxinas que los niños que no lo hicieron. Este no fue el caso para la mayoría de los niños. Tras el lanzamiento de los datos de glifosato de CFIA, nos dimos cuenta de por qué, y esperamos que los consumidores y los fabricantes de alimentos tomen nota de estos importantes hallazgos. ”- Zen Honeycutt de Moms Across America.

Honeycutt se centró principalmente en el glifosato porque los científicos informan que el glifosato aumenta el impacto nocivo de otras toxinas ambientales, lo que hace que la presencia de los otros productos químicos 166 analizados sea aún más perjudicial.

abril 22 is Earth Day, a day in which we pay tribute to the planet we inhabit. But what are we doing to it? We hear more and more about how our climate is in danger. We hear about all of these international groups calling for a massive reduction in fossil fuels. We hear less about the other causes of the destruction of our climate and one of the largest contributors is factory farming, including the GMO crops and the toxic pesticides used.

According to Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang, co-authors of "Livestock and Climate Change", the environmental impact of the lifecycle and supply chain of animals raised for food has been vastly underestimated, and in fact, accounts for at least half of all human-caused greenhouse gasses (GHGs).

¿Sabías que muchos condados de Estados Unidos rocían desde el aire sustancias químicas tóxicas sobre ciudades y pueblos para matar mosquitos? El departamento que decide hacer esto se llama Control de Vectores y cada ciudad tiene un funcionario electo, un Comisionado de Planificación o "fideicomisario" en esa junta. Juntos, deciden cuándo y qué se rociará sobre su hogar, jardines, patios de recreo, arroyos y escuelas, mientras duerme.

Esta semana, en mi condado, algunos miembros de la junta de control de vectores pensaron que sería una buena idea que solo 3 personas encabezaran el comité de toma de decisiones junto con solo un administrador de las áreas afectadas. Su intención era no tener que convocar a todos los 35 miembros si se iban a realizar las fumigaciones, para una votación. Debido a que se deben dar 48 horas de aviso público (lo publican en su sitio web), a menudo sienten que es un inconveniente tener que apresurarse para convocarnos y avisarnos antes de rociar.

t is with a grateful but deeply saddened heart that I share this news with you today.
We cannot rejoice at the following finding, because the subject matter is of such tragedy, but we are very grateful for the work of all involved.

Today the Monsanto Tribunal judges released their findings. After hearing testimonies from mothers of children with birth defects, farmers with cancer, farmers with animals who suffered serious harm and death, and many more testimonies of harm from around the world, the international judges delivered their findings.

Due to the fact that the opinion tribunal was not taken under oath and the accused did not appear to deny or confirm the statements, the findings can only be given with the understanding that the testimonies given by the victims and claims of harm made in the tribunal will be proven to be true.

In summary: 

The Tribunal recognizes the fundamental right to a healthy environment and human health.

The environment is a precondition of all human health. Monsanto was found to violate that right with their products.

Monsanto has also violated the rights to healthy food and access information which is needed to protect health and environment.

Monsanto has taken actions which could be classified as ECO-cide.

The international community, judges, health organizations, farmers, manufacturers, and consumers are sure to take notice of these important findings and re-think their use of Monsanto's products such as Roundup. We find this to be an important step in moving away from GMO chemical farming and towards organic, regenerative agriculture.We thank the international community who worked tirelessly to create this tribunal.

Read the full transcript of the findings here:
http://en.monsantotribunal.org/Conclusions

The International Monsanto Tribunal is a unique "Opinion Tribunal" convened by civil society to clarify the legal obligations and consequences of some of the activities of the Monsanto Company.

During the hearings that took place on octubre 15 and 16th in The Hague, judges heard testimonies related to the six questions posed to the Tribunal. The ensuing legal opinion delivered by the Tribunal includes a legal analysis of the questions asked, with respect to both existing international law, and to prospective law in order to improve international human rights and environmental law.

The advisory opinion is structured in three parts. The introductory section details the conditions within which the Tribunal was initiated. The middle section examines the six questions posed to the Tribunal. Looking at the broader picture, the final section tackles the growing asymmetry between the rights conceded to corporations and the constraints imposed upon them to protect local communities and/or future generations, wherever corporations operate.

Thank you for continuing to support our work and raise awareness for healthy communities.
We are grateful for you!

Together, we can reverse the rise of health issues and create healthy communities.

Have you seen the trucks spraying Roundup or Rodeo (glyphosate-based herbicides) on your street yet?
If not, they are coming! In Orange County, CA in previous years, they have sprayed 65,000 pounds of glyphosate alone, 265,000 pounds of herbicides and pesticides. All those chemicals dissipate into the air and come down as pesticide rain or drain into the ocean. Either way, we are poisoning the planet with these chemicals. This is happening in your town too. But we can stop this.

It is obvious that our federal government is not going to protect your family from toxic chemicals.  The current budget proposal will fire 25% of the workforce at the EPA, cut back 31% of their budget, cut 9 staffers focused on endocrine disruptors, and yet hire 10 security detail for new EPA head Scott Pruitt.

Why are they protecting Scott Pruitt but not our babies from sex hormone disrupting chemicals? This is INSANITY!!!!

Some people feel the situation is hopeless.
But that is not true.
YOU are the hope.
WE are the hope.

Two years ago, in January of 2015, representing mothers, I had the opportunity to stand before the Monsanto shareholder meeting and say, "Mr. Grant, you and the EPA say you have hundreds of studies showing the safety of glyphosate. So I requested them by FOIA. Here is an example of just one on white shrimp. The study you commissioned found that white shrimp died at levels above 5.2 ppm of glyphosate in just 4 days. Another study shows that glyphosate remains viable in dark salty water for 315 days.

What's in our womb? Dark salty water. 

What's the size of a six-week old fetus? The size of a shrimp.

How much glyphosate is allowed on sugar? 25 ppm.

Pregnant mothers crave sugar!

You MUST be responsible for the contamination of pregnant mothers and the poisoning of our fetuses!

As a sea of shareholders looked at me uncomfortably, I compared the Danish Ib Pedersen pig study of 30,000 pigs to the current 30% infertility rate of young couples in America.  When the pigs were repeatedly exposed to low levels of glyphosate, there was a 30% increase of birth defects, smaller litters and miscarriages; exactly correlate to our human reproductive issues, which were highest in recorded history in 2014. The anguish and urgency of the situation compelled me to speak out to the shareholders, but I alone could not conduct scientific studies, I alone could not enforce laws.

Recently, Zach and his colleagues published a paper in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics, entitled "Protective Effects of Lignite Extract Supplement on Intestinal Barrier Function in Glyphosate-Mediated Tight Junction Injury."

This paper is a technically challenging read for the layperson, but it contains several powerful before and after images (Figure 3), which should convince anyone that lignite produces a significant change to cells of the stomach lining after they've been "insulted" by glyphosate.

Many who have purchased Restore from us, which has lignite as its active ingredient, say that this change is a very positive one!

Informe de la gira de conferencias de Japón, marzo 1 - 10

Por Zen Honeycutt, Mamás en todo Estados Unidos

marzo 21,2017

Esperaba ir a Japón para hablar sobre el trabajo de Moms Across America y advertir a las madres sobre los riesgos para la salud de los OGM y las toxinas para que pudieran evitarlos. Teniendo en cuenta la dieta asiática, estaba seguro de que su salud era mucho mejor que la nuestra. Me sorprendió descubrir que los problemas de salud de los niños japoneses, coreanos y filipinos habían superado por mucho a los niños estadounidenses. Más de 500-800 madres se reunieron para mis presentaciones en cada una de las 5 ubicaciones, donde aprendí por qué la multitud era tan grande. 

Japanese children have developmental delays 2x higher than the US. Korean children have autism and developmental delays 2-3x higher. According to the Autism Speaks of Philippines, at least 1 million, or 1 out of 33 children in the Philippines had been diagnosed with autism in 2014 (more without healthcare are likely to have symptoms), which is far worse than our current 1 out of 68 children. I was crushed. I was Angry. I was Outraged.

We want to make sure you are fully informed about the important issues being raised at the National Organic Standards Board meeting in April.

YOU can comment until marzo 30.
