Hot to Avoid GMO Food

Genetically Modified Organisms or GMO’s are Franken-foods that have wormed their way into our food supply to an unknown degree.  Unlike in Europe where GMO’s are banned and/or restricted, the US has no labeling laws, so consumers do not even know if they are buying GMO foods at the grocery store.  Why all the fuss?  Find out what’s wrong with GMO’s here

How can you avoid GMO food?  1.  Avoid processed foods (experts estimate that 75% contain GMO)  2.  Buy Organic (no GMO allowed) 3.  Buy Local (and ask questions)

Inevitable, you do buy some prepared foods, such as ketchup, pasta and cereal.  Check to see if your brand is GMO-free or likely to have GMO ingredients with the printable Non-GMO Shopping Guide put out by The Institute for Responsible Technology and The Center for Food Safety. 

Here’s a quick look at GMO’s and Baby Food, as reported by the shopping guide:

    Do you know anything about Natures Goodness and the Parents Choice brand? Both are sold at Wal-Mart.

    A quick look at the Natures Goodness website shows that their products are not organic. They don’t make any other positive commitments on their website, so far as I can see, and do admit to using preservatives in their foods with DHA supplements. Unless Parents Choice is organic, it’s pretty much the same thing. Without the organic certification process to push GMO foods out of the picture, many companies are using them to some degree today.
