Genetically Modified Organisms {GMOs}

I set out today to find healthy options for my family while purchasing groceries for the week. My husband and I try to put the best food on the table for our family. It just seems this is getting harder and harder because of the quality of food these days. I am still learning about GMOs so I decided to share what I have been doing to be more aware. Here are a few ideas to get you started on your own journey to learn more about GMOs:

  1. Follow the Non-GMO Project on Facebook. This will keep you up-to-date on news and happenings in the non-GMO/GMO world.
  2. Check out this site for a ton of great information at nongmoproject.org. What do you really need to know and what do you need to do to take action?
  3. See a list of Verified Products before you purchase. Because all companies hold their products to the highest standards, right? {insert sarcastic tone}What is safe and chemical-free to eat?
  4. Consider shopping at your local Farmers' Market, Whole Foods, Natural Grocer or other local health food store. I know that it can be pricey but consider it an investment in your future.
  5. @NonGMOProject on Twitter
  6. There are a ton of great documentaries related to the agricultural and food industries in the United States. Consider taking the time to learn more about what you are putting in your body. GMO OMG
  7. Visit usda.gov
