GMO - Just say NO!

The world is buzzing with talk of our food supply and threats posed by chemicals and genetic manipulation and by giant corporations who control our government and would love to control our food supply as well.  To those corporations, we flip up our middle finger and say "Up Yours!".

Here is an article about how to avoid the products of those monster corporations so that you and your family can be free of the diseases they bring to your cupboard and plate:

The best way to avoid GMO is to GROW it yourself from heritage seeds bought from local or reputable small companies.  The second best way is to know what foods are typically GMO (corn, soy, canola, cotton-seed, dairy, zuchinni and yellow squash, papaya) and buy those organically grown or from a local grower you know and trust.

Actually, organic certification ensures the product is GMO free and the Non-GMO Project does due diligence so you don't have to.

Finally, for smart phone owners, there are apps out there that can help ascertain the GMO status:
