Genetically modified foods have taken over the market place. It is known that almost anything that we eat, that is not ORGANIC, has already been genetically modified or has ingredients that have been genetically modified. We are the worlds leading manufacturer of GMO and Monsanto is leading the charge.

As a country, we have witnessed an epidemic of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes in the last 20 years.

After just watching over 2+ hours of video on mobilizing to get more out of our selves, it became very apparent to me that we all need to do it…and a lot more of it.
