#SimilacNoGMO Petition Twitter Party

FinalLeahTwitterParty_1

I’m on a mission to protect babies.

Especially the ones who are poor, have limited accesses to resources, or who have parents who just aren’t paying attention. And I can use your help.

Please Sign This Petition

Join me in petitioning Similac to remove genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from their infant formula during an online rally Wednesday, May 22nd from 8-9:30pm EST (5-6:30pm PST). Because when it comes to babies, is it really worth the risk?

And I’m sure Similac will be listening. We are their target audience. Without our support, they cease to be a company.

They. Need. Us.

But I think we can encourage them to do the right thing.

Hashtag: #SimilacNoGMO

When: Wednesday, May 22nd from 8-9:30pm EST

Theme: Educational Rally about GMOs in infant formula and baby food. We want Similac to reformulate and lead the industry in positive change.

Related: Similac is also involved directly marketing to social media moms with their #StrongMomsEmpower campaign. The campaign is about not judging each other and the decisions we make as parents. I thought the hashtag was very ironic because I feel as if WE need to empower ourselves first to ask them to change some things. Right now I don’t think they have demonstrated core values of putting the safety of babies first. Let’s focus on who’s more important in this scenario–the babies. Then we can start talking about how moms treat each other. But to me, one is far more important.

Demand Kraft Drop Yellow #5 & Yellow #6 from Mac & Cheese Online Rally

Kraft Mamavation Party

We don’t mess around with health in Mamavation.

As mothers, we are responsible for feeding our family. But what if some of the major food companies in the United States & Canada were hindering us from being able to provide our children with safe food… but were protecting children in Europe instead? That is exactly what is happening. Let me explain…

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese has two food dyes in it: Yellow 5 & Yellow 6. These dyes are being phased out in England and are already illegal in Norway & Austria because of safety concerns. They are made of toxins known to cause cancer, hyperactivity in children, asthma, skin rashes,  migraines and prevent children from excelling in school.

WHAT you say…it gets better.

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese has reformulated in Europe in order to provide a safer product that consumers will purchase over there. Here in the United States & Canada they seem to think we just don’t care. Well, mothers care about their children. And I think they are mistaken. The products in Europe taste NO DIFFERENT than in the United States. In fact, Vani from Foodbabe.com & Lisa from 100daysofrealfood.com did their own little taste test and you can see it here.

Kraft has responded to the petition already stating that “The safety and quality of our products is our highest priority and we take consumer concerns very seriously.” So they say they are listening, huh? I say we make it VERY clear to them that we want these dyes OUT of their products. Period. No more hiding behind the blanket statement of *wha what wha cue peanuts voice here* We abide by all regulatory safety standards set out by the wha wha wha *end peanut voice here*. I think we can do better than that. They changed it in Europe. Why not here? They ALREADY have a formula.

Make sure to sign this petition! And join us on TUESDAY, MARCH 19th from 8-9:30pm EST for an ONLINE rally twitter party to demand that Kraft stop using these dyes in the United States & Canada. Let’s take our food back America. One brand at a time.

Who: Leah Segedie @Bookieboo hostess
Kimberly Grabinski from @Whatsthatsmell Co-hosting

Vani @thefoodbabe guest of honor

Lisa @100daysrealfood guest of honor

When: Tuesday, March 19th from 8-9:30pm

Where: Twitter using #kraftyellow hashtag

There are SO many brands that don’t use toxic food dyes, genetically modified ingredients or other toxic substances that lead to cancer. And I’ve asked a few to donate some products that we can win during the event. I’m continuously updating this list, so keep visiting back to see what you can win with your support of this petition and movement in social media.

Giveaways:

1. Navitas Naturals $75 gift sets (2 winners)

  • smoothie pack

2. Set of Natural Dyes for your Kitchen from Colormaker.com (5 winners)

40 Days of Water Challenge with Blood:Water Missions Facebook Party

Blood water mission 40 day challenge mamavation
Mamavation is participating in a 40 Day Water Challenge with Blood:Water Missions, a faith based non-profit that brings water resources and healthcare to African nations. From February 13th to March 30th, we will be drinking nothing but water for 40 days and then donating the money we saved to Blood:Water so they can bring clean drinking water to communities in Uganda.

This is what Blood:Water Missions did in 2012, so you get an idea of what we are joining forces with.

In the United States we take things like clean water for granted. Uganda has issues with clean water. Basically, they don’t have it. These are the people who will be directly impacted by your participation.

More details about Uganda.

ugandamap2013

AND to kick off this challenge, we are throwing a Facebook Party!!!

Who: Mamavation Community
Where: Mamavation Facebook Fan Page
When: Tuesday, February 12th from 8-9:30pm EST (5-6:30pm PST)
Theme: 40 Day Water Challenge and bringing water resources to communities in Uganda
RSVP: Please RSVP to this event here on Facebook

We don’t have any giveaways, but this isn’t really about giveaways is it? This is about helping people in communities that are less fortunate than us, cleansing your body with water for 40 days and watching what happens, AND feeling good about doing both of those things.

Help us promote this party and challenge and receive some good karma!

If you would like to join this 40 Day Challenge with Mamavation, you don’t need to be part of the community to join in, but please hit the linky below so we know you are joining us! Thanks!!

Disclaimer: I’m actually starting this challenge early on Feb. 5th so that I can go to Blissdom and have an alcoholic beverage. I’m also NOT getting rid of my coffee in the morning, but I’m double taxing myself for it. In the end, it all works out better for Blood:Water. :)

#iheartOmron Twitter Party Celebration with Ambassadors

HR500U_YELLOW_LIFESTYLE_CROP 10222012
For 30 Days 25 bloggers used Omron products to lose weight and get healthier. Today we celebrate the journey they had and highlight the Strapless Heart Rate Monitor they used toward the end. This monitor helps you work out SMARTER and is easier to use than other heart rate monitors. They’ve eliminated the strap, so now when it comes to monitoring and staying in THE ZONE, it’s all in the wrist. The monitor alerts you when you are in the right heart rate zone to ensure an optimal workout. Walking 10,000 steps a day is recommended, but you can also achieve the same benefits walking 5,000 steps at a higher exercise level. Wanna cheat like the pros and still get a better workout? Let the Strapless Heart Rate Monitor from Omron help you.

Come celebrate with us!

Who: Omron Fitness & Mamavation
When: Wednesday, February 20th

Mamavation Twitter Party Launch Campaign #15

Mamavation is an obesity prevention campaign for families championed by moms. We believe mom is the solution to the obesity epidemic. She is the head of the household and in control of what is purchased and how time is spent. Mamavation believes teaching mothers healthy living and enabling them to share with their family is what can save a family from obesity. Moms are powerful and influential.

The Mamavation Mom Boot Camp is a 7 week healthy living virtual boot camp put on entirely in the internet. Two moms go through this boot camp with a professional dietitian and trainer, along with the support and love of the Mamavation community. They lose weight at home in their own environment and learn more about healthy living. We set them up to role model this behavior to their families. Join us Monday, January 21st from 8-10pm EST as we announce who the next two Mamavation Moms will be.

Moms from all over the internet applied to be the next Mamavation Mom. These women have been encouraged to stop drinking soda, alcohol (temporarily) and join the Mamavation Sistahood. They also have been hazed and encouraged to change their lifestyles NOW. We also did interviews to find out what they are like. And now I’m announcing who our finalists are. Two of these women will be the next Mamavation Moms. This week they will hazed like crazy as we watch. And during the end of the twitter party launch, we will announce who the next two Mamavation Moms are. Decisions are made in our leadership committee. Make sure to join us!

Farmers vs. Monsanto Twitter Party Celebration

Family farmers are modern day heroes. And Monsanto is a company that threatens their very existence.

On January 10th, family farmers will travel to Washington DC to participate in the appeal of Organic Seed Growers and Trade Asscociation (OSGATA) vs Monsanto et al, a court case filed to protect farmers from genetic trespass by Monsanto’s GMO seed, which can contaminate organic and non-GMO farmers’ crops and opens them up to abusive lawsuits.

In the past two decades, Monsanto’s seed monopoly has grown so powerful that they control the genetics of nearly 90% of five major commodity crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, canola and sugar beets.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has agreed to hear oral arguments in the appeal of this landmark case to decide whether or not this case will move forward.

This case represents their survival. Let’s support them as they travel to Washington, D.C. and represent the rights of family farmers.

Join us for a twitter party on Tuesday, January 8th from 9-10pm EST (6-7pm PST) with Food Democracy Now.

GMO Free your Holiday with GMOInside Twitter Party


Over 5.8 MILLION people voted for labeling GMOs in California in November. I’m conservatively estimating that the labeling movement in social media created over a BILLION impressions on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and Pinterest in two short months leading up to the election. I know we created over 150 MILLION impression just with the online events and blog posts. I didn’t record how much was done in addition to that. Twitter and Facebook was on fire.

So what now? Well, a new organization called GMOInside has been created to keep that momentum going forward to promote national GMO labeling. And we are launching with a twitter party on Wednesday, December 12th from 8-10pm to celebrate and help moms learn how to have a GMO free Holiday.

“Pin the Vote” Pinivation for Labeling GMOs


Help California Right to Know pass labeling of GMOs by doing what you already like doing–Pining. We are building awareness and you will be making a difference by helping us. This is NOT a “pin it to win it” contest. This is going to be like a scavenger hunt with prizes. YOU will be creating most of the content. Not us. The only thing I’m asking you to do is pin one graphic about the party in a board you create on your own. (Okay, so technically this is the only “pin it to win it” part…but it’s more of an info-graphic, so I don’t feel so bad asking you to do it. )

Here are some of the rules and guidelines:
1. Create a special board for this event. Title it whatever you want, but my suggestions would be something pertaining to “Label GMOs” or “GMOs” or “Vote for Food Safety” or something to that nature. Again, you decide.
2. START PINNING NOW and each time you pin include #LabelGMOs in your description. Entries will be chosen at random during the LIVE portion of this event that will be held on FACEBOOK, not twitter. Winners will come from that hashtag. There are NO limits on how many entries you can pin. Starting now.

Since this is a scavenger hunt, I’ve found several ways you can participate. Here are your options. There are NO limits on how much you want to pin.

Prompt #1: Favorite Foods. This is an issue about food safety. Everyone eats. Find images of your favorite foods and comment something to the effect of this: “If this had GMOs in it I would just DIE! #LabelGMOs” Again, your words but please include the hashtag #LabelGMOs.

Prompt #2: Celebrate our labeling efforts. Please follow CARighttoKnow on Pinterest here. Anytime you repin one of their images and attach the #LabelGMOs hashtag to it, you have an entry.

Prompt #3: Make things REAL. Pin images of yourself or your children. A graphic needs to be included that says “I’m NOT a science experiment. Label GMOs.” To include this text you can either hold up a banner or insert graphically or use your imagination. There is an example here. You can do exactly what they did or create something special. Your choice. Don’t forget to use #LabelGMOs in description.

Prompt #4: Celebrate bloggers who have joined the fight. Pin images from posts around the internet about labeling GMOs. There has been several blog posts and articles from media outlets. Just make sure to include a link back to the original content. Your own description and then #LabelGMOs. You can also pin images from a blog post YOU create yourself. And thank you if you do!
