Do the growers use genetically modified seeds?... is another important question to be asked. GM food is an issue that will effect the future of the planet that we are passing on to today's children.

Large seed companies that control our food chain are now producing seeds that have been genetically manipulated. Like the north sea char, for example, a fish whose genes were crossed with a tomato to enable a new variety of tomato be grown at colder temperatures.

This tampering with nature and rushing to get experimental products to the marketplace may have serious consequences in the future.

Cross contamination may lead to mutant plants and diseases as a result.

Without prior adequate research these multinational food companies are playing God with the future of food and the natural environment.

How many carbon fuel food miles are used to transport each product from the producing country to the shop and even to our homes (considering we drive to the shop) is another question? (Lettuce can be grown year round in Ireland.It does not need to be imported from countries like Spain or France during the wintertime)

Start growing some of your own food and kitchen herbs. It's as easy as getting started...

One can see as a supporter/consumer of products you can be directly/indirectly responsible for the environment destruction that is occurring each day.

By changing ones shopping habits and supporting products with accountable stories a silent change is taking place in the background and you are surrounding yourself with good health energy products.

One becomes part of a solution.

Our, soon to be launched, online shop and eco business directory facilitates consumers who want to become conscious in their shopping habits and lifestyles.
