(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 14, 2013 ) Callao, Virginia: Although Americans have been eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) since 1996, most consumers have no idea that about 80 percent of the processed food—and some produce—they buy at groceries contain GMOs. Research shows that 90 percent of Americans would refuse to buy GMO products if they were labeled as such.

Author Maggie Lyons’s children’s adventure story Dewi and the Seeds of Doom has a very unusual underlying theme for a work of fiction written for children: the danger to your health of genetically modified food. Independent research has shown that GMOs cause health problems including damage to internal organs, allergies, links to cancer and other serious diseases.

Lyons will donate copies of her children’s book Dewi and the Seeds of Doom to the Central Rappahannock Regional Library (http://www.LibraryPoint.org) in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Saturday, January 26 at 11 AM. She will sign copies of the book between 11 AM and 2 PM. The book will be on sale at a discount.

Dewi and the Seeds of Doom relates the adventure of a Welsh dragon detective. When he is clobbered by a falling rat, the nosy Welsh dragon snoops his way into a challenging predicament. Helped by a toad with a passion for chemical wart cures, Dewi discovers that a megalomaniac baron is secretly breeding mutant corn at an unfriendly castle. To thwart the genetically modified-corn baron’s sickening plan, he must use moxie and firepower in a series of catastrophe-skirting capers.
Genetically modified food is not just fantasy. It’s a very real and pervasive health hazard for today’s consumers.
