In a previous entry I spoke of the need for people to eat organic foods as a way of being more healthy and to protect themselves from genetically modified foods (GMO). As a follow up on that post I wanted to link an article that I found today about evidence from genetic scientist who confirm (yet again) that GMO foods are unsafe for you, for farmers, and are completely ecologically unsound.
You may recall that I mentioned that almost all of the major commodity crops--corn, soy beans, wheat, rice, canola, and potatoes-- are GMO. The only way to be sure that that the foods you are buying are safe and GMO free is to buy organic. If it comes in a package, like crackers, chips, pasta, canola oil etc, and says it's "All Natural" you can guarantee that it is GMO. Again, buy organic and you will know. "All Natural"is a marketing ploy to get you to pay more money for fancy packaging.
The article is very telling in my opinion as it is written by experts. These experts are not on the payroll of Monsanto or any other "biotech" company either. One of them returned over $600,000 in research funds at one time, so clearly their research is motivated by truth rather than pocketing cash.
Cut and paste the link to your browser. I keep having trouble with making it a click-able link.
