Hi Lauralea:
I am going through some problems with the e-mail system. I was on what was called "freeweb", well they closed down and transferred me over to Juno. I have put my new e-mail address in, so perhaps you can try again. You may still get freeweb, I think I have to delete it off my computer, but do not know how to do it.
Well to get you updated, since I have learned a great deal about GMO. I did find a company that you can buy soy products from and they are called Dixie Diner Club and anyone can order from them. I found them after I stopped buying Worthington's products such as Morningstar Farms, Loma Linda, Natural Touch, becuase they would not stop using GMO soybeans.
Well I have noticed that they have been cutting their prices down each time I go to the store, so I thought about writing them again.
Now they have informed me and this is the quote from the e-mail they sent me on 8/23/00:
"We recognize that consumers of Worthington Foods products may prefer that such products not include ingreients produced through biotechnology. We are in the final stages of our conversion to non-genetically modified proteins in all Morningstar Farms, Worthington, Natural Touch and Loma Linda products."
When I found out that Kellogg who now owns our SDA producers above, was sending non GMO products to England and Australia because they would not allow GMO products into their countries, why would they not do it for SDA's.
I sent a letter to our local conference president and he forwarded my letter to every pastor along with his newletter for to notify their congretations of the situation.
But we have to help SDA's realize that they are no longer supporting SDA products, that they are not owned by SDA anymore, but Kellogg.
Dixie Diner Club has many great products and I use many of them. Also many local health food stores such as Wild Oats, Trader Joe's, etc are making those changes as well.
When I learned that a lady who was allergic to Brazel nuts ate walnuts and died, they found out that the walnuts had been genetically planted the brazel nuts gene.
It made me do a lot of thinking. I find it so sad as I tell people about this, they think I am crazy. They never have heard of GMO and do not have the foggiest idea what is happening to our foods.
In this country we are suppose to be the most informed people in the world and we can't even keep up because things are changing so fast before our very eyes.
I pray that God will light the world with His Glory and minds would be awaken the the truths that are waiting for them to hear and see. What wonderful things God has for them, if they would just take the time to look up and listen and see for themselves.
God is trying to prepare us for what is to come and it is already happening. Before we know it, it will come to pass and will we be ready.
