Did you watch Food, Inc? that’s the easiest visual way to learn a bit about Genetically Modified Organisms and how they are used in our food supply
please read “About GMO” from this site:
Here is a snippet
“What are GMOs?
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE). This experimental technology merges DNA from different species, creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.”
Logically…if you follow the $$$$ you can surmise that the companies that sell the herbicide/weedkiller/insecticide are also the companies that pay for the GMO seeds and “science”. All regulated by the same people that allow yoga mat plastics into your fast food and rBGH into your dairy products.
The easiest way to make sure you’re not ingesting the untested on humans over time GMO foods, is to buy locally and organically. That does not mean that everyone at the outdoor farmer’s market is selling local and organic. They could be selling the same crap…you have to know your vendors. Finding good food with some nutrition available, in Los Angeles, believe me, is a full time job. Tracing the corporate mother companies is also a lot of work, since one day a food might be prepared by someone personally and week later a corporate giant may have purchased that little guy..which could of course change how it’s prepared, etc. so it SCALES….bigger and larger means more $$. I have clients that purchase sessions just to go shopping with me…because I have to take the time to stay on top of this.
If you’ve seen the movie Vanishing of the Bees, you can also see the impact of the new generation of bug killing poison. When I was a kid it was enough to wash your apple….now..that apple might have been WATERED with the bug and weed killler. We can’t just wash it off anymore.
On October 16th there was a big march/rally to try to get GMO foods labeled as such. President Obama once said “Here’s what I’ll do as president… We’ll let folks know whether their food has been genetically modified because Americans should know what they’re buying.” which has not happened yet, but support for this is growing growing growing.
