Frankenfood - Genetically Modified Food

This week I am challenging you to learn about GM corn, soybeans, canola, and cotton, along with other crops. Learn what is really being put into your food; flounder cells introduced into our tomatoes, daffodil cells in our rice, e. coli in our corn, etc. Corporations like Monsanto are claiming that they are helping humanity by making our crops stronger and more resistant. However, other countries don't want our genetically modified crops and have refused them. The farmers that produced the crops asked our government to subsidize them since they couldn't sell them and so the taxpayers felt the burden. These GM products have not helped ease famine. They have only introduced new problems into our food supply.

75% of all processed food in America has GM ingredients - think corn syrup. I find this statistic frightening. The companies don't even have to label it as a GM product. We should have the right to decide if we want to eat GM products. So, I am encouraging you to watch a movie; pop some Organic popcorn so you don't get GM corn :) and sit back and watch The Future of Food.
