GMOs

Genetically Modified Foods. To me it seems preposterous that in the US GMOs are not labeled as such. In fact most of the foods in our supermarkets, especially ones containing corn (yes this includes high fructose corn syrup) and soy contain GMOs. It turns out and I have read about this from several sources, around 80% to 90% of corn and soybeans in our country are grown from genetically modified seed. I dare not mention the name of the company that controls most of these crops as I feel they are ruthless and evil. Europe has said hell no to our genetically modified foods and with good reason however most Americans have no idea they are even eating them. Sadly many don't care. If it is economical what the hec. When the USDA considered dropping standards of organically grown foods people took to the streets and protested. Thanks to these people who care about the food they eat, the standards of organically grown food have been upheld. The method they use to modify these seeds are quite scary. Of coarse this is all approved by the USDA because the ones in charge and I mean many, used to work for guess who? And the politicians..... well I am sure you can figure that one out. Bought and paid for. The whole thing just makes me sick.
