I have always wanted to know which foods I have been eating are genetically modified. This article is quite ironic because I just ate a Hostess Cupcake (which I normally never eat) as a lunch treat. It tasted aweful!
I remember when I was little how good foods used to taste. Reeses peanut butter cups used to be good too, now they taste like detergent. Fruits and vegatables used to be crisp and juicey, now they're mushy and dry. Dorito's used to be a favorite of mine, now they're disgusting.
I just found this article, and the foods listed shocked me. Cheerios are GM food! This is another list of products everybody should boycott, just like the "Outsourcing," list I posted last week, thanks to Lou Dobb's and his fantastic coverage.
GM labeling on all food products is mandatory in Europe, but here in America consumer's are left in the dark as to exactly what they are eating.
Here is the list of Genetically Modified Foods - get ready to clean out your pantry!
FOR A FULL LISTING OF NON-GM FOODS, the link is posted above for the Truefoodnow website. Prepare to blow chunks, this list is shocking. A few general observations: The availability of Non GM food vs. GM food is about 50/50. Most "brand name," products and corporate giants genetically modify their foods. Most foods listed under the "non-genetically modified," section are not well known and are not considered "mainstream."
