Brenda Morgan, PhD  Meditation Teacher and Catalyst.  I was not looking for a meditation teacher when I met Brenda in August 2003. I did find myself however continuously drawn to her work. What she shares resonates with me - down to the tiniest cell of my Being. She has indeed been, and continues to be a catalyst for change, for helping me become more of who I truly am in every moment. For this I am grateful.

Seeds Of Deception: Everything you need to know about genetically modified foods Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are the result of laboratory processes which artificially insert foreign genes into the DNA of food crops or animals. Those genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Although banned by food manufacturers in Europe and elsewhere, the FDA does not require any safety evaluations. Most Americans say they would not eat GMOs if labeled, but the U.S. does not require labeling. GMOs are not safe, but have been in the food supply since 1996 and are now present in the vast majority of processed foods in the US.
