Neal’s Yard Remedies Beauty Book is Out

20/02/16 News

It’s always a pleasure to produce these beautiful books with Neal’s Yard Remedies.

This Neal’s Yard Remedies Beauty Book can help you change your beauty regime by giving an in depth look at natural ingredients, recipes for homemade treats and make-up looks that enhance your natural beauty.

I first made my name challenging the toxic ingredients that are put into most personal care products. We do a lot of ugly things in the name of beauty – but it doesn’t have to be that way.

I was very pleased to see the book, which I co-authored with colleagues Susan Curtis and Fran Johnson, featured in the Daily Telegraph and it has had a fantastic reception by others including the Beauty Bible, Good Housekeeping and lots of online sites.

There will be more books on the way. Next up the only guide you will ever need to essential oils…

Our Campaign is Growing

13/02/16 News

The last year  or so has seen the Beyond GM group grow and reach out to ever more people in the UK.

After 20 years of failure it’s hard to believe that corporate interests are still pushing the GMO agenda in what amounts to a large uncontrolled experiment in food and human health. But they are and if possible even harder – and with even more money in their pockets – than before. Beyond GM was founded late in 2014 by myself and others to ensure that when it comes to agricultural GM, we have an engaged and educated public that understands the problems – as well as the solutions – and will speak out for a better, fairer, safer food system than genetic modification could ever provide.

From the establishment of core campaign of Beyond GM we now have a thriving GM Free Me campaign, the phenomenally successful Letter form America – now translated into 8 languages, lively GMO OMG film nights, and a growing group of mothers Mums Say no to GMOs who are putting forward the consumer case. This year we have embarked on a major photographic campaign We Feed The World, to help highlight the importance of small and family farmers to the future of our food system. There will be more to come as the year unfolds.

Please support us and use our websites and social media as resources to help you keep in touch and to understand more about agricultural GMOs and their impact on food, environment and health.

Zika – What’s the Real Story?

12/02/16 Articles

When the words ‘global public health emergency’ pop up on the TV screen or in the headlines of a newspaper, it’s reasonable to hope that there is good information out there to reassure you – or at least inform you. Not so with the zika virus. The whirlwind of hype and hysteria, half-baked theories and […]

20 Years Ago Today… What Have We Learned Since the GMO Flavr Savr Tomato

05/02/16 Articles

“It was 20 years ago today…” as the song goes – and in many ways the sparkly side-show that is genetically modified food is as lacking in substance as the eternal showmen of Sgt Pepper’s band. On this day in 1996 the first GM product – a tomato puree made from the Flavr Savr tomato […]
