It is estimated that over 90% of processed food products contain GMO ingredients. Just read the label and look for any ingredient related to corn, soy or canola and you are almost certainly getting a GMO ingredient. This is why the push to label GMO foods is such a farce- the information is already on the label! <br /><br />Interesting that General Mills spent millions so they could label Cheerios as "not made with GMO ingredients*" (disclaimer *trace amounts of GMO material may be present). Sales of Cheerios subsequently went down which led General Mills to state that they will never again reformulate a product to eliminate GMO ingredients.<br /><br />Note to 3:41 pm: no one ever underestimated the intelligence of the general public.Robin Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-70026304295899082642015-05-28T16:18:05.890-10:002015-05-28T16:18:05.890-10:00Anyone ever see that painting of an American root ...Anyone ever see that painting of an American root cellar in 1700 ?
