Moms Across America: Reclaiming Children’s Health and Feeding the World Well Seeds of Change: A Mother Organizing for a Toxicant-Free Future

We have an epidemic of chronic illness and degenerative disease on this continent. According to the NonGMO Project, the U.S. is by far the largest producer in the world of GMOs, 37.6% of all land globally dedicated to genetically modified crops is in the U.S. And until relatively recently, there were no mandatory labeling laws. Zen Honeycutt, Founder of Moms Across America & author of the book, Unstoppable, joins us today to share about her journey as a mother who learns about the current state of our world food supply, how it affects our childrens health, public health, the health of farmworkers and everyone we love.

Through her realization of the numerous toxic chemicals we often unknowingly feed our loved ones, she has pursued the origin and effects of glyphosate, herbicides, pesticides and GMOs with renowned scientists. And she has met with and documented the stories of many farmers who wish to feed the world well, without destroying its inheritance. She has galvanized countless Moms who have shared the chronic and life-threatening health issues befalling their children, themselves, and other family members & how they reclaimed their lives and enacted change for their communities.

There are true tales of corporate greed and government corruption”being traded for personal and public health. With autism projected to affect 1 in 2 children in the near future, changing how and what we eat and how we protect the waters, air, soil from harm is an imperative that involves us all. The future of our children matters immensely. And our future existence depends on each of us becoming activists and advocates for change. Zen Honeycutt shares how we can change things for ourselves, our families, our world.
