Today’s episode is a little different from the norm, which is great!
This past weekend we attended the March Against Monsanto in Toronto. At the very least, we need GMOs labelled so we can make an informed choice about the food we eat. We share our thoughts on GMOs and why going organic is essential.
We also share a bunch of gems on green foods and how to get more of them into your daily routine.

I’ve been in a healthy lifestyle for a long while now and there is still so much to learn! Since I cannot hear what it says on the podcast, is there any way it can be transcribed into captions not just for me but also other people who are deaf, hard of harding and deafened? Thanks.
Great question, Wendy!
In the future, we plan on having each show transcribed and available on the show notes posts (like this one). We’ve had a couple done so far, they just need to be edited a bit before posting. They are for the first two episodes and should be up relatively soon.
As for the rest, audio costs $1 a minute to transcribe. When we get some sponsors or the show starts generating income by another means, we plan on making transcripts a priority.
Thanks for the question 🙂
