What are GMOs? From http://www.nongmoproject.org/learn-more/
GMOs (or “genetically modified organisms”) are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering, or GE. This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.
Are GMOs safe?
Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. In the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale. Increasingly, Americans are taking diflucan-fluconazole.net into their own hands and choosing to opt out of the GMO experiment.

Completely agreed, Sherry! Its disgusting that our government is more concerned with profits, revenues, and gaining the support from big business instead of the health and well-being of the American people.
We need to help change this or our kids are going to get sicker and sicker. It is very sad!
It is sad that we have to worry so much about our selection in the produce section of our grocery store. Thanks for the eye opener!
