GMO Awareness Month

 October is Non GMO month. 
 As a health food store (and the largest health food store in central IL) we are cerebrating this month! The stores are filled with food that is certified as non GMO.

Peoria has decorated the store with the butterfly logo for the nongmoproject.org. 



Normal also is decorated in celebration and we are showing a documentary called "Genetic Roulette"  everyday. 


To help out our communities we are taking grocery donations for the local food banks and shelters, we are taking donations for non GMO items in the stores. If you donate 2 or more non GMO certified items, the cashier will give you are $5.00 of $35.00 or more coupon!
 (only one per customer please) 

 GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms. The overall awareness of what we are eating and the right to know what has been placed in our foods is important to us here. Many of us here avoid GMO foods and eat as much organic as we can. Most people who work in the natural health industry have a story of how they got involved in a more natural life style. 

Ask any employee at Naturally Yours... 
 I wont go into all the details here about GMO, but if you are interested there are plenty of resources out there to read, watch and listen to. Stop by and check out the selection of non GMO items in the stores! Talk to some staff about what you think and your opinions on the subject. Leave a few comments here too!

You can follow the non GMO project on Facebook, Twitter and their website http://www.nongmoproject.org/
