Very excited for these!

@lovesuja has just come out with a line of protein shakes, with each one offering 16g of plant-based pea, rice and hemp protein.

They come in three flavors -- vanilla cinnamon, chocolate and coffee bean -- and are blended with almond milk and coconut cream, with 3-4 grams of acacia fiber. Also, USDA certified organic, Non-GMO Project verified and vegan.

Bryan Riblett, Chief Innovation Officer at Suja Organic, is someone I have known for many years, and I think he is hands-down one of the best formulators in the entire industry. What he did with Nature's Cola was next-level genius.

I can't wait to try these protein shakes, and they are now available nationwide @target and on target.com.

One down, about 19,000 more to go!

Laguna Beach is ending its use of the toxic herbicide glyphosate. Excellent news!

I love this product innovation and collaboration between two fantastic organic brands.

For the first time, @onceuponafarm has ventured into the dairy category and introduced a line of organic A2/A2 Whole Milk Shakes. They come in three flavors -- triple berry, strawberry creme and banana creme -- and the A2 milk is sourced from @alexandrefamilyfarm, a pasture-raised and regenerative organic dairy in California.

Originally, cow’s milk only had the A2 beta-casein protein present (A2/A2) – which is the same primary protein found in human milk. Because of this, A2 beta-casein is most natural to the human body and more easily absorbed.

The product is available on Once Upon a Farm's website.

Can we get rid of this chemical already????

That is exactly what @centerforfoodsafety is trying to do with this new petition.

A big win for healthy food shoppers and biodiversity!

Whole Foods Market today announced a new pollinator health policy aimed at reducing the use of toxic pesticides in its fruit and vegetable supply chain. The policy seeks to help protect bees and other pollinators that are essential to one in three bites of food.

“Whole Foods’ policy is an important step in a moment when 40% of insect pollinators face extinction,” said Kendra Klein, PhD, senior staff scientist at @foe_us. “After another year of devastating losses to bees, food retailers must accelerate their commitment to protect pollinators by setting measurable goals to eliminate bee-toxic pesticides in their food supply.”

Pollinator loss threatens food security in an already fragile supply chain. U.S. beekeepers reported among the highest annual losses ever recorded last year. Research indicates that pollinator loss has already resulted in decreased production of key crops like apples, cherries and tomatoes in the United States. 

Whole Foods’ policy requires fresh produce and floral suppliers to adopt Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices by 2025. Suppliers may work with designated third-party certifications with meaningful IPM criteria or submit a legal attestation confirming that they adhere to the requirements of the policy.

The policy also encourages produce suppliers to phase out the use of the most concerning neonicotinoid pesticides. Research shows that U.S. agriculture has become 48 times more toxic to bees and other insects since the advent of neonicotinoid use three decades ago. In addition, the policy prohibits the use of nitroguanidine neonicotinoids in potted plants – a move aligning the company with the over 140 garden retailers and plant nurseries that have made similar commitments.

If we are going to make a dent in pesticide use, retailers must take a leadership role, and this is a fantastic step by @wholefoods.

Can we get rid of this chemical already????

A groundbreaking legal action today is attempting to do just that, as it calls on the EPA to immediately suspend and cancel the dangerous herbicide glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup.

GLYPHOSATE'S REGISTRATION IS ILLEGAL, says the petition filed by the @centerforfoodsafety on behalf of itself, @beyondpesticides, and four farmworker advocacy groups.

Last year, in a lawsuit by the same nonprofits, a federal court of appeals struck down EPA's human health assessment because the agency wrongfully dismissed glyphosate's cancer risk.

Today's petition, calling for the cancellation and suspension of glyphosate's registration, runs over 70 pages and includes more than 200 scientific citations.

The full story is on @centerforfoodsafety's site. 🙏

The lawyers in Kenya, who are fighting against GMOs, are 100% correct.

GMOs, not to the mention their accompanying, super-toxic chemicals, such as glyphosate and dicamba, are a human rights violation.

We have absolutely no choice in the matter when glyphosate and GMOs contaminate the organic food supply chain -- which they do every single day -- and put our health in jeopardy.

Even worse, these companies are allowed to do it, with complete impunity.

Thanks to @standardkenya for the reporting.

Absolutely tragic that more farmers and children will now be exposed to this SUPER-TOXIC chemical.

Yesterday, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed EPA’s 2021 decision to ban chlorpyrifos on food crops.

This reversal, made by a Trump-appointed judge, defies the agency’s earlier finding that there are virtually NO SAFE USES of chlorpyrifos when it proposed revoking all food tolerances as early as 2015.

Chlorpyrifos harms children’s developing brains and is associated with attention deficit disorders, loss of IQ, reduced working memory and more. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also found that chlorpyrifos “threatens the continued existence” of more than 1,200 threatened and endangered species.
