A simple survival device could change how people look at their food supply — and their health — forever.

What is it?

It is an easy way to stop genetically engineered or modified organisms and pesticides from destroying people’s health.

GMOs touch nearly every ounce of food we eat. We can’t even depend on the FDA or supposedly “healthy” grocery chains. The key to good health, and our survival in a real crisis, is to take control of our food production.

In other words, grow it instead of mowing it. Turn lawns into vegetable gardens. Let children see where their food really comes from. My wife and I did exactly that and we grow enough vegetables to last us all winter. Families will be much healthier without all those GMOs and pesticides and save money, too. Besides, vegetables from the garden simply taste better. They are delicious … and pure.

This is the time of year when people have to make the decision to mow it or make that lawn into a garden. The time for planning and planting is now.

Years ago, those types of gardens were called Victory Gardens.
