    Fork the System Podcast E002 Back to School on a Pesticide-Free Campus: Mackenzie Feldman, a College Student Who Ignited a Movement

    GMO/Toxin Free USA’s Fork the System Podcast Episode 002 Back to School on a Pesticide-Free Campus: Mackenzie Feldman, a College Student Who Ignited a Movement In this episode of Fork the System, we talk with Mackenzie Feldman, whose concerns about glyphosate use around her college volleyball court motivated her to spring into action. College student turned activist, Mackenzie kicked Monsanto's glyphosate and other toxic pesticides off University of California campuses, shifting the colleges to organic landcare. And she didn't stop there. "Herbicide-Free Campus is just one small piece, but I hope that it can give people something tangible that they can do." It starts with a ripple of inspiration... you can change your home, your school, your community... you can make a difference, too.

    Fork the System Podcast E001 Glyphosate & Roundup: Poison in Our Daily Bread

    GMO/Toxin Free USA’s Fork the System Podcast Episode 001 Glyphosate & Roundup: Poison in Our Daily Bread It’s not surprising that glyphosate, the so-called active ingredient in Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, is found in foods made with glyphosate-tolerant GMO crops like corn, soy and canola. But why is glyphosate herbicide showing up in non-GMO and organic foods too? In this episode of Fork the System, GMO/Toxin Free USA staffer Nomi Carmona hosts a conversation with Henry Rowlands, founder of The Detox Project, about the results of the most comprehensive glyphosate testing of food products ever conducted in the United States. The Detox Project’s most recent report, The Poison in Our Daily Bread, shines a light on the true levels of cancer-causing glyphosate contamination in essential foods, like whole grain and whole wheat breads, sold by some of the top grocery stores in the country, including Whole Foods Market, Amazon, Walmart, and Target. What more can we do to avoid carcinogenic glyphosate in our food? As consumers and as activists, what can we do to help beat back the rising glyphosate contamination of our food supply?
