not sure if any of you have seen this but would like to post the link and some comments

comments:
i find it difficult to steer clear of the broad generalization that some people make regarding our government here in the U.S. as incompetent at best but certainly with some of the federal organizations i lean in that direction.
some of the incidents regarding nonGMO and GMO corn that have happened in our country are quite appalling.
the quote that might get you to read the article is

"meaning that long after we stop eating GM corn chips, for instance, our intestines might continue to manufacture the “Bt” pesticide the GM corn plants are engineered to produce! "

at my house we try to grow everything we can and the list gets longer as time goes by. my wife also insists that 'most' of our store bought goods be 'organic' which this article seems to state signifies by definition is nonGMO.

i'm sure there will be more on this blog regarding GMO and its implications as i find out more.
