GMO
I'm amazed at how many people don't know about GMO. I didn't know until several months ago. And it was from a friend who posted it on her facebook! Since then, I've been researching and reading books on what GMO is. My discoveries has opened a door to finding many links to a conspiracy that is bigger than you or I. It is eye opening!
What I know is it is preventable if we just open our eyes and keep talking about it. One action I've taken is to stop eating GMO kinds of foods. One of them being corn. That has been my favorite vegetable. But now, it will not enter my home unless it is organic. I was saddened to find out that organic corn is not easy to find. My findings have shown that 90% of corn produced in the US is GMO. Which by the way, "GMO" stands for "Genetically Modified Organisms,"
Do your own research and find out how this is affecting your family. Corn is in everything. So, home cooked meals is safer. Putting ingredients in your food that you know is safe for your family is not only the rave right now, it is necessary!
I couldn't agree more! You are so right, it is in everything ... chips, crackers, cereal, and bread, are the obvious ones but “GMO” are in so many other foods within our repertoire of planned meals; to which we are oblivious. But, knowledge is power and the more informed we are the better we are able to make healthy choices when providing nutritious meals for our families. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and contributing to our understanding the benefits of avoiding “GMO.” I look forward to your future posts.
Thanks, Denise! This is a journey that is worth taking. It is overwhelming for most of us in the US to embark on this new way of life. Each day we can make informed decisions when shopping and preparing meals for our family, that we can choose to live a GMO free, chemical free, processed free lifestyle. When we don't know what this looks like, there are resources out there that are available to learn and find out the truth. I'd like to talk more with you about this! Thanks for your comment!
