A quick dose of GMO reality

Here's a 1.5 minute video to give you a better understanding of GMO's. This is an excerpt from "Genetic Roulette" by Jeffrey Smith.   Check his website out http://www.responsibletechnology.org/posts/blog/ and his entire "Genetic Roulette" documentary. He is at the forefront of the Non-GMO movement and he is crazy knowledgeable about all of this stuff.  The website is super informative and easy to understand.


 

 Just a reminder of what Genetically Modified crops are currently being sold to us: 
Corn 
Canola 
Cotton 
Soy 
Crooked Neck Squash 
Hawaiian Papaya
Alfalfa 
Sugar Beets
(and there are lots more in the works of making their way to our dinner table)

And one more reminder.... Avoiding GMO foods is just ONE of the many things you need to watch out for.  A food can be Non-GMO and still be grown with loads of pesticides, insecticides, picked prematurely, chemically ripened.... etc.
