This video is a must see. Especially if you eat sweet potatoes or serve them to your birds.

Sorry didn't mean to scare anyone, but it scared me too. A friend of mine posted it on my Facebook wall and with so many who feed their birds sweet potatoes, I though I'd post it here.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it..seems like the ones labeled organic from the grocery store aren't much better than the non organic:(

Maybe it's best to buy LOCAL organic produce, rather than it being shipped from other places. The video was a real eye opener. The other scary thing too is if it killed mice when they were testing it, how can it be safe for human consumption. Isn't that like a no brainer? No wonder so many people have cancer or are ill from other diseases. I am going to do more research. BTW, Hawaii just banned GMO food from all of Hawaii... Kudos!

I can't remember ever seeing locally grown sweet potatoes here...I will have to look harder this year.

Wow.

That made my stomach turn- it really opens your eyes about how those chemicals really affect our foods....and they let us EAT THAT STUFF???!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Our town does a farmer's market every Tuesday in the summer months, but there is also a couple different locally-owned grocery stores in the PNW that carry ONLY organic products.
