As I posted yesterday, many of us have no idea what we are eating.   Genetically modified foods are filling the grocery shelves and produce bins without any warning.   We put more thought about what we watch on TV than what we put into our mouths.  The following are some helpful ways in identifying GM foods.  There is a guide you can download and copy from www.truefood.org.au that's free.  Along with using the GMO Food Guide, there’s other tricks you that can use to figure out if something is genetically modified in your fresh produce aisles:

• Examine produce stickers on the fruits and vegetables you buy. The PLU code for conventionally grown fruit consists of four numbers; organically grown fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number nine; and GM fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number eight.
• Buy organic produce as often as you can. By definition, food that is certified organic must be free from all GM organisms.

Stay away from all processed foods, as most of these contain corn and soy ingredients.  

Fortunately, as a consumer you do have power. You can choose not to be a victim of deception, and you can choose what you feed your family. Large portions of Europe have already succeeded in squashing GMO’s out of their food supply, forcing food manufacturers to use real ingredients in their European product lines. But here in the U.S. we’re still stuck with it to a very large degree.  

You can be the change you want to see in America, by educating yourself, spreading the word, and refusing to buy GMO products. 

Share this article with your friends and family, and if you haven’t yet taken the time to watch The Future of Food, please do so now. It is perhaps one of the most important videos on this subject, and one that everyone in American should watch and pass on to others.

More later, Blessing to YOU!
