It can be scary when you think about what's in our grocery stores: genetically modified foods, foods that contain synthetic hormones, pesticides and antibiotics, as well as foods exposed to irradiation (a form of radiation used to kill bacteria).

  • "One of the more insidious possible sources of bacteria and viruses that can cause intestinal malfunction is genetically modified foods. Foods containing genetically modified organisms (gmo's) have been introduced into our diets in the same time period that autism rates have exploded. There may well be a connection...
    In one interesting study, farm animals could eat from a trough containing gmo-modified corn or from a trough containing non-gmo, regular corn. In every case, they would sniff the gmo corn but not eat even a single bite of it.

    Other studies showed harmful side effects in test animals fed genetically modified food. These effects range from intestinal disorders to tumor or pre-tumor formation. This gmo food is being forced on us virtually untested, and no one knows what this massive, money making experiment will lead too. Autism certainly is a possibility.

  • Organic is fine and all, but local should take priority when possible. A lot of people recognize the benefits of organic food, but don't want to spend more money on a "premium" kind of food.

    I'm a vegan and I buy organic when I can, but I also have a budget, so my diet is kinda mixed.

  • whole foods offsets the electricity the use by buying wind power, but perhaps they should consider offsetting the energy they use in transporting "organic" bananas from peru or wherever. LOCAL all the way.

    Often buying local and eating organic go hand in hand.
    Local Harvest is a website where you can search for places in your area to buy local produce.
