Vision Statement Of This Blog:

To educate and influence United States consumers about corn subsidized foods to make healthy and economic food purchases while meeting nutritional needs. The objective will require U.S. consumers to reduce their meat and corn processed commodity consumption which will in turn benefit their health and the U.S. economy.

Our Urgency Statement:

Corn Free = Poison Free. Eat Organic! is derived from our belief that United States Consumers need to pay close attention to the ingredients in their food products. Corn, a natural product, is currently used in many unnatural ways which are negatively affecting our environment, our health and our local economies. By eating organically raised animal products and commodities our conditions will be positively affected and result in sustainability.
