I began researching GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) the other day and this has caught my attention BIG time.
Here are some websites I am reading right now...
- Institute for Responsible Technology
- From SafBaby...
Part 1: The Truth About GMOs
Part 2: Why Babies & Children are Most Vulnerable to GMO - The True Food Network
- Seeds of Deception
What am I doing about it NOW...
- I downloaded the Non-GMO Shopping Guide from Institute for Responsible Technology
- I downloaded the Shopping Guide from The True Food Network
- I am reading through them and highlighting our key products
What I HOPE to do in the future...
- Educate myself about ingredient labels and learn to notice GM ingredients without the list :).
- Remove as many as possible without going overboard (and making my husband crazy)
- Focus mostly on my breastfeeding health and my baby girl, as these ingredients are one of the biggest culprits to the issues I am most concerned about.

As I am still in college, I recently attended an environmental awareness forum that talked about GMOs and pesticide use in foods and farming. They showed a neat documentary called "Fed Up! The Truth about GMO Foods" (I think that's the right title...the Fed Up part is right I know). It did kind of scare me though...and it definitely lit a fie under me to stop just thinking and planning on changing our habits, and DOING IT!
