New proposed changes to the definition of genetically modified foods by the Food Standards Australia are inbound. Only novel DNA would need to be labelled as GMO, and plants that have been gene edited but not contain new DNA would be exempt from labeling. This threatens the integrity of the organic certification and removes the consumers right to know what is in their food. These changes are good for industry, big industrial agricultural producers, the biotechnology firms and have nothing to do with optimal human health. They are a direct assault on consumer choice. Paola Crofts, regenerative organic farmer and owner of Tall Poppy Farm in Mt Macedon, Victoria and I discussed this in the recent Fire Pit Chat (recording below). What you can do 1. INFORM YOURSELF - read this summary by the organic cooperative and register on the blog link above to be kept up to date. Watch the video recording below. Read the Webinar details from the FSANZ (tiles below). 2. COMPLETE THE SURVEY - available here and on the above link. 3. MAKE A SUBMISSION To FSANZ - via this website or via email submissions@foodstandards.gov.au emphasising your concern about new proposals. 4. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MEMBER - start with your state food minister expressing your concerns about this decision. 5. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL REGENERATIVE FARMER - spend your money with people who are raising chemical free, GMO free food and not with the centralized, industrialized food system. Check the farmers directory on the thread to find one near you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can copy paste this letter template in a email submission:

Hi everyone, If you haven't already, I highly recommend you listen/watch this outstanding Tucker Carlson interview with Calley and Casey Means. Casey Means was a Stanford-educated surgeon. Her brother Calley was a lobbyist for pharma and the food industry. Both quit their jobs in horror when they realized how many people were being killed by the systems they participated in. This is an amazing story. Calley and Casey are eloquent, well educated and professional, it's a good one to share with friends and family who need to wake up. Simon

The purpose of this group is to be a digital townsquare for likeminded people to discuss the three pillars of REGENERATE - circadian & quantum heatlh, ancestral nutrition & regenerative farming. We want to help you connect with people around Australia and the world who share an interest in this decentralised, grassroots movement. We will use this group to - Post news about upcoming REGENERATE Summits and other adjacent events. We also encourage you to use it to plan meet-ups, connect with others and share perspectives. - Host the latest recorded talks from REGENERATE Albury 2024. These will be made available in the classroom tab, prior to being publicly released on YouTube. - We also would like to promote regenerative farming and encourage you to post info or experiences with your favourite regenerative farm. We are building a catalogue of direct-to-consumer regenerative farms, check the Classroom tab to find out more. Please note: this group is not for health advice or to ask us personal questions about your health situation. If you'd like this, then join either: - Dr Max's Private community for circadian & quantum health & lifestyle optimisation with weekly Q&As, access to CIRCADIAN RESET & SOLAR CALLUS courses, & more- https://www.skool.com/dr-maxs-circadian-reset OR - Dr. Chaffee & Simon's Carnivore Challenge which offers a support and coaching program for those interested in the carnivore diet https://www.howtocarnivore.com/ Anything posted in this group is public, please do not post anything you wouldn't like to be available or found on the internet, it's similar to a public Facebook group or YouTube channel.
