The Right to Know About Your Food Would Explode Your Puny Little Head

On November 6, California’s voters will decide on Proposition 37 – the “Right To Know.” If this passes, it will set a precedent for labeling foods made with Genetically Modified ingredients to spread across the United States!

Danny DeVito, Bill Maher, Dave Matthews and friends star made this 2 minute video to get you thinking about what Monsanto is trying so desperately to hide from the public.




Not in Cali? Take a stand by signing this national petition to the US Congress, calling for labeling of genetically engineered foods (GMOs).

A Vegan Milky Way?!?

When I went vegan, I thought my favorite candy bars were a thing of the past - never again would a Milky Way grace my lips...sigh.

Pity party is over!

I'm sooo excited to tell you about Go Max Go Foods - these super awesome people have created vegan versions of such favorites as: Snickers (Jokerz), Milky Way (Twilight), Almond Joy (Mahalo), 3 Musketeers (Buccaneer), Nestle Crunch (Snap!) & Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (Cleo’s).  And, coming soon...Butterfinger (Thumbs Up).


Not only are these beauties sans dairy & eggs, they are also free from hydrogenated oils, trans fats, artificial ingredients and cholesterol!

That calls for a DYN-O-MITE!

Find these magical treasure's near you!

Or get a Value 12 pack (2 flavors each) from The Vegetarian Site.

I love you Go Max!
