Rebel With a Fork Blog

There’s an article in the recent edition of SuperMarketNews that has getting quite a bit of attention….

“There are other issues that grab consumer interest but, for whatever reason, never seem to break through the public consciousness and out into the open. This has been the case with genetically modified foods.

Government statistics from 2007 show that the vast majority of the country’s commodity ingredients come from GMO crops: 91% of soy, 87% of cotton and 73% of corn. It’s estimated that GMOs are now present in more than 80% of packaged food products found in U.S. or Canadian supermarkets.

The coming year promises to bring about a greater, more pervasive awareness of those numbers as opponents of GMOs bring a unified campaign — complete with a non-GMO standard — to the public. (read the entire article here ) ”

Did you catch that? 80% of the packaged foods you’re eating contain GMOs.

The good news is that as people become more aware, the food manufacturers will make a business decision to remove these ‘foods’, the way they have been quickly removing corn syrup.

The bad news is, they will find another way to cheaply disguise cheap ingredients. I personally don’t trust any of them. They’ve been poisoning us for years.

That’s why I’m a Rebel. I use very few packaged foods. It’s nearly impossible to not use any prepared foods if you have a job, kids, a house, you know – a life. But eating realatively healthy is not that hard. (I think I found a new word – realatively! Get it? real food… I know – Groan
