(3,333 posts)So I have no problems with those.
I see no point in being a guinea pig in Monsanto's grand experiments. How you feel about it is your own choice. I've made mine.
I can certainly understand people who cannot afford to do otherwise doing so, though.
I even grow a lot of what I eat, especially corn. I don't buy much in the way of corn, soy beans, canola, cottonseed, or papaya. I do, however, grow unmodified heirloom corn in my garden. It's yummy. Completely organic, too.
Very soon I expect to cease all consumption of salmon. Can't be too trusting of labeling these days. And despite the promises, I guarantee the GMO versions WILL escape into the wild. It's not a question of if but of when.
I find it very easy to avoid GMO food without much trouble. I've learned to ignore the fact that there's no labeling by avoiding most foods that are heavily produced via GMOs.
Until you can tell me with 100% certainty all effects of GMO food forty years from now, I will choose to abstain.
