How to Avoid Genetically Modified Foods

As Americans we are becoming very aware of what our government is allowing to happen to us and our country.

So many Americans are asking "what do we do now"?

Quote "Whether genetically modified (GM) foods are safe or harmful is still controversial. Most foods we eat may contain ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)--everything from baby formula and food to our dairy to even our meat. If you live in Europe, avoiding GM foods is easier since laws require labeling. However in the US and Canada food manufacturers are not required to label if their food is genetically modified or not. As such, here are some guidelines for steering clear of GM foods in your diet, if that is your choice."

That being said I will do my best to offer solutions.

Many of us are beginning to realize how important it is for us to grow our own food. Most don't know how to garden, let alone grow our own food. (and we wonder what happen to the home economic courses in grade schools?).

We need to get together with the like minded thinkers of our communities. Team up on community gardens, community chickens/eggs, and heck if you have the room get a community cow. Share the responsibility, share the feed, share the fruits of your labor.

Native Americans have realized the importance of Non Genetically Modified seeds for years. I personaly place the majority of my faith/business with the Native American organizations supplying these seeds. Most have seeds that came our original plants, here long before any of us.
