Choose Non-GMO foods.

GMO is an acronym for genetically modified organisms. In a nutshell, this means that something is engineered in a lab and added to a food to make it look, taste, or appear better in some way. These results can not be achieved by cross-breeding foods naturally.

It is scary how many foods are modified in some way. Many fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains are found with genetic modifications. Many packaged foods are genetically modified- at least partially.

The USDA has required companies to label their products as GMO or Bioengineered. They are not to be seen as any better or less than the original products. These companies must comply by January 2022. I have seen some labels already. Some labels are bold and some you have to really look for. Although USDA says these GMO products are safe, it is up to you to decide what you think. I have seen some documentaries that make me think otherwise, especially when it comes to animal products. I will post links to these in later posts and let you decide for yourself.
