The last time I checked this forum, I was the only informant that claimed to be on an organic natural foods diet and shopped at Whole Foods Market. Apparently I'm the only guy on FFL that can afford to shop at whole Foods and that's because I am not a big eater. Correct if I'm wrong about this.
So, it's really funny reading about opposition to a "GMO" apple that doesn't turn brown. I would think that there would be more opposition to the insecticides and antibiotics contained on and in non-organic foods such as beef and chicken. So, maybe somebody could fill me in on the sources of the food they eat. Thanks. I know a guy that drives all the way across town just so he can buy a bag of unsulphured raisins. I live two blocks from Whole Foods and even that is a long walk. You can imagine how much destruction to the environment there is if thousands of cars are driven to the farmer's market every day just to check the labels on apples. It just doesn't make any sense. Go figure. ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : Turq - I lin Hillsboro, Oregon. Took a job transfer here 20 years ago and moved from San Mateo, California. Last year, we had a GMO labeling requirement on the ballot. It was Oregon's most expensive election issue EVER. That tells me something. The labeling requirement lost, but they were outspent 3 to 1 by the Frankenfood Companies. Even if GMO food can be shown to be safe, I firmly believe we have an inherent right to know what we are being sold and putting in our bodies. Like, Bhairitu is pointing out a bunch of stores and products now label their products as non GMO anyway. New Seasons and Whole Foods are behind this effort. This is where our dollars go.
