We all want to know what's in the food we eat and what we are feeding our families. That is why we support GMO labeling. Like most Americans, we simply want to know what's in our food and how it is produced. Big Food's bill to block GMO labeling, the Deny Americans the Right to Know or DARK Act, passed the House of Representatives in July, and now labeling opponents will be fighting tooth and nail to get it through the Senate as soon as possible. It's up to us to stop them.
We need to show the Senate how serious we are about stopping the DARK Act for good and making mandatory GMO labeling a reality, let's welcome our senators back to Washington by making sure this is the first thing on their radar. The DARK Act, which is now going into the Senate, would pre-empt GMO labeling laws already passed in Vermont, Maine and Connecticut and the pending legislation in 17 other states. It would also make it virtually impossible for the Food and Drug Administration to ever require mandatory labeling nationwide; codify our broken voluntary labeling system; and allow GMOs in so-called "natural" foods. The DARK Act keeps consumers in the dark.
We urge you to do everything in your power to keep this act out of the Senate and instead support the consumer's right to know what's in our food. Despite the fact that nine of every ten Americans are in favor of GMO labeling. The Big Food's bill would wipe out our right to know what is in our food and has already been approved by the House. If we're not careful, the Senate could be next! It's time for Congress to listen to what the American people really want instead of succumbing to special interest groups like the biotech and Big Food companies. Take action now go to www.ewg.org. Let's make sure they hear us loud and clear.
Thanks for speaking up!

Introducing New & Improved Fitness Programming!
|
I am sure many of you are familiar with the
TRANSORMERS movies or maybe just the old cartoon from your childhood. If you are not familiar, here's the gist...the fate of humanity is at stake when two races of robots, the good Autobots and the villainous Decepticons, bring their war to Earth. The robots have the ability to change into different mechanical objects as they seek the key to ultimate power. Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, changes from an old, plain and simple 18 wheeler mack truck to an almighty super machine!
You may now be asking yourself why am I reading about fictional cartoon characters and what does it have to do with fitness? Well here it is... Change can be defined in many ways;
a. the act or instance of making or becoming different.
b. To give a completely different form or appearance to; transform.
Definition a. implies a short term event, a simple act or an instance while definition b. implies long term results that require intention, dedication and mental fortitude.
We are all about change here at Evolution Fitness and our top priority is getting you results that last and transform your body. Many of us find ourselves feeling like an old mack truck every once and a while; especially after a week vacation, after a night out for dinner and drinks or just after that weekend BBQ. Wouldn't you like to be in "Optimus Prime" condition all the time!
After a few trial runs we have gathered some quality information and we are excited to bring you another high quality way of tracking your results and putting your fitness to the test! The BEAST is a fitness testing protocol that can be adapted to all fitness levels and is now an integral part of our fitness programming at EvoFit. The Beast will be done on a quarterly basis along with the FMS (Functional Movement Screen), InBody, Align-A-Bod posture screen, circumference measurements, mobility screen and blood pressure. Get ready to be in Optimus Prime condition!
