Just try to avoid Genetically Modified Food

Just try to avoid Genetically Modified Food Fear them or favor them, genetically modified foods are now a part of all of our diets, due to the simple reason that GMO corn and soy, used in cooking oil and high-fructose corn syrup are staples of virtually all processed foods. Now consider the fact that Americans consume more processed foods than fresh foods, (one of the reasons our nation is so fat ) and it is obvious we are constantly filling up on genetically modified ingredients. I suppose that if you are a strict vegan buying solely organic , or abstain from all unprocessed meats and fish while drinking only unsweetened natural juice or milk, you possibly could avoid consuming GMO products, but chances are what you miss in the grocery department you'll make up for in the pharmacy. The line between foods and medicine is being blurred as farmers and scientist have entered a era of growing edible pharmaceuticals made from genetically modified plants. Whether you find them fabulous or fearsome, it is a given that genetically modified plants are here to stay. I'm Susan Allen and this is Food Forethought.
