Today I’d like to talk about genetically modified of food. More accurately, Monsanto. If you are not familiar with this mega-corporation, you can learn more here. If you like to eat, have ever eaten, or plan to eat in the near future, then I strongly recommend each and every person out there learn about this company. Not only are their business practices highly unethical, devious and down right evil, according to some experts, they have single- handedly destroyed the biodiversity in

Now, I am not totally against bioengineering because I realize that there is a lot of potential here to do some good. But this is like something from an old sci-fi movie…the science experiment gone awry routine. It is real, and if you haven’t already taken the time to learn about what is going on, I assure you, it will scare you.
I am not going to post a long blog today about why I think Monsanto is pure evil, the above links will do that on their own.

The more people that know about this and are at the very least, willing spread the word, the better off the rest of the earth will be.Today's tip: If you don't want to go organic, (it is quite expensive, after all) consider purchasing a few organic products regularly. Many mainstream companies are now producing certified organic ingredients in their products. They may not be 100%, but they are helping to support the cause. Let them know in the wallet that you like their efforts and to keep it up! The point is to discourage companies from using GM (genetically modified, GMO, GE) ingredients. Remember, there are no labeling laws yet to let you know you are eating GM!!!!!
