I ATE GMO FOOD!



http://www.foodinsight.org



If  my friends asked me if I ate GMO 
foods, I would tell them, "Absolutely
not!"  Well, I did eat GMO food by 
accident! I got lazy and stopped 
reading the labels on my food 
at the grocery store. One day I was 
rinsing my cans for the recycle bin. 
noticed some letters in small print 
on the side of the can.  It mentioned
that contents may have been genetically 
altered. I was alarmed because I had 
been trying to indulge in healthier
eating habits. I have not become so
picky that I have stopped using canned 
vegetables. Some vegetables in the can
are of good quality. Organic and lower 
sodium canned veggies are available
now.

Some of the snack food packages 
I was putting in my recycle bin had
a note saying it contained GMO 
contents!  I am too busy to cook 
everything from scratch. I started 
reading my labels again. But this
requires extending my visit at the 
grocery store.

I remember hearing about the GMO 
concept a few years ago. I did not 
keep up with this news. I did not try
to find out when GMO products would
be put in the grocery stores. Shame on 
me!!

I have been trying to keep more abreast
of news about food processing.  I recently 
noticed that my herbal medicine and 
vitamin bottles have a message: “No 
GMO contents."

GMO products may not affect my health 

any more than consuming too much 

sugar and salt.  I just prefer to have 

food and herbal products not manipulated
by people in a lab.
