Hello all!
Today I am posting stories from my interview with Mark Squire, owner and manager of Good Earth Natural Foods. He is an expert on GMOs, so take a listen to learn more about a topic that affects you every time you go grocery shopping. Maybe next time you'll think twice before buying chemically-grown food products!
Mark Squire Bio
Mark Squire is owner and manager of Good Earth Natural Foods in Fairfax, CA. He has held this position for more than 35 years, promoting organically grown foods in such a way that inspired similar stores nationwide. Squire transitioned his own family farm in North Carolina to organic foods, before creating Good Earth. Mark was a member of the California Certified Organic Farmers Board of Directors from 1983 to 1988, and represented the organization's Marin and Sonoma County chapters. He helped write some of the original organic certification standards still in use. He has also been on the board at the Organic Crop Improvement Association, where he oversaw international certification staff training and operations for farm and manufacturing. Squire helped author an initiative in Marin County that prohibited the outdoor cultivation of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), which passed in 2004. He is still an advocate of organic foods and labeling of GMOs, and is on the Board of Directors of the Non-GMO Project.

Thank you Mark Squires for supporting the Prop 37 Yes in California, with dollars and personally. This has helped bring attention to the problem nationwide. Hopefully we will now get labeling.
