Okay, I promise that these pancakes tasted MUCH better than the photo above suggests. I have a “point and shoot” camera, what can I say?
We love pancakes over here and probably eat them way too much. When I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to make both breakfast and lunch, I suggest pancakes for brunch. We have about 4000 apples in our fridge right now so it’s imperative that these two food products merge. I use a basic pancake recipe and then add spices like no tomorrow as if I’m making an apple pie. An added bonus is that because the spices give the otherwise white pancakes a brown hue, Ryan thought I used whole wheat flour. Now not only have I provided breakfast and lunch, I’ve provided a healthy breakfast and lunch. [click to continue…]
Change.org reports:
The first-ever public study of the health effects of genetically modified corn shows that three patented crops developed and owned by agriculture giant Monsanto cause liver, kidney and heart damage in mammals.
The FDA has approved all three varieties for sale and consumption in the U.S. and all three are in our food supply right now.

Ottawa, Monday, October 5, 2009 – 28 countries, including more European countries as well as Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Thailand, have now been affected by contamination from genetically modified (GM) flax in Canadian exports since contamination was first reported on September 8.
Mere weeks are left before farmers in Canada finish harvesting their flax and yet farmers still don’t know the source or full extent of the GM contamination — and it could be weeks before authorities in Canada confirm any details. Flax prices remain depressed.
GM flax is not approved for human consumption in the following 28 countries where contamination has now reached: Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Spain, Denmark, Estonia, Norway, Finland, France, Greece, Romania, Portugal, Iceland, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Mauritius. Companies are removing products from the market as the GM flax has been found in cereals, bakery products, bakery mixtures and nut/seed products. 9 GM flax contamination notices have been filed so far through the European Commission’s Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed.
