Try My No GMO Crackers For Toddlers

So guess what I was doing for fun last night and then writing about it until 3am? I invented a snack for toddlers that will get them to eat their greens! And after my batch, I decided I want to sell them since they we're so good! Not to mention, California passed the Homemade Food Act AB 1616, which permits someone like myself to produce baked goods out of my home. But, my adventure began so innocently this weekend after reading charges against General Mills for putting GMO ingredients in Cheerios and spending over 1 million to help defeat Prop 37! Now, I don't know about you, but to me GMOs in Cheerios is the ultimate betrayal, because every kids in America has eaten Cheerios! Just image all the daycares and preschools and activity centers, even hospitals --- they all offer Cheerios to kids!

Well, enough is enough! I took wheat dough into my own hands tonight and handcrafted a simple baked cracker mixed with chopped kale, flax and chia seeds, and pink sea salt! I really just want to make something I could take with me on the run that I felt 210% good about feeding them in a hurry! So, then I made a 6 ingredient wish list that would provide my kids with fiber, protein, and greens!

And since I live in San Diego, I figured my main green being Kale should be a no brainer since it grows so abundantly here! Also, the wheat flour,  Kale, and olive oil used are all certified USDA organic! Next, I had to give my creation some character by pressing the dough in the pan without a rolling pin. I'm definitely no Martha Stuart, so why bother making pretty crackers for toddlers who are just going to devour them without saying, 'thank you Daddy'.

You're welcome kiddos. Now eat your greens!

A Non GMO Gift Idea For Teenagers Against GMOs - #CyberMonday

Let's face it, buying great gifts for teenagers this holiday season will be challenging to say the least. And unfortunately there's nothing substantive from the No GMO movement offered on Black Friday, Small Saturday, nor this Cyber Monday, which is a total surprise to me and missed opportunity. Especially in California where 4.2 million registered voters (many with kids) voted in favor of Prop 37's labeling requirements for genetically modified processed foods! So what do you do? Well, let me ask you this... do your teens play sports?

Do you buy your teen athlete supplements (vitamins, fish oils, fiber products, etc)? Are they GMO free?

Did you know that teenagers are just as worried about GMOs as adults are? The problem is they may not show it or talk about much as they feel helpless to do anything about it. They don't control the money and what and where their parents buy food. In fact most teens are beginning to ask their parents to purchase healthy organic foods, since the battle to label GMOs became heated in local politics across the Country, even if it means spending a little more cash and altering family favorite recipes.

Here's one teens wake up moment that her favorite cereal was made with high-fructose corn syrup(GMOs) and now's she taking a Non-GMO challenge:    

Teenagers are now seriously getting involved in the debt to label GMOs in droves and 2012 will be looked back on as the tipping point for the youth becoming educated about this issue! Here's another 15 year old teen getting focused and crying out for attention to get parents to listen:



They even launched a Facebook page called... Teens Against GMOs: https://www.facebook.com/TeensAgaintsGmOs

So, what's a solution? Support these bright teenagers and consider purchasing them GMO free supplements made by the world renowned Science based nutritional leader, USANA, which is made in the USA and uses no genetically modified materials in its product line. The product can be personalized and I can recommend a few great USANA products that 600+ world-class athletes including the US Ski and Snowboarding Association and the Women's Tennis Association already rely on without breaking the budget.
