Monsanto

[MelindaPerry]

Has anyone else been following anything related with Monsanto and any companies associated with them? Have you been banning their foods. If so, is it hard for you? Where do you shop? I also recently discovered that some of these companies have bought out 'organic' companies and those are showing up with GMO's and pesticides. Thoughts????

I was quite shocked that kasi was found to contain gmos! That is one of their top selling points!
I do find that the lack of labeling makes it difficult to discern monsanto gmo foods from others. I truly hope the USA follows some of the other nations to require labeling.
Thanks for posting! Good discussion topic!

I haven't been following this story, but now you have my interests peaked and when I get home will be looking into it :)

I, too, was shocked to find that out! Just goes to show that can not always trust the "organic" lable.

Since we eat a vegan diet I am dinding that a lot of products that we buy are actually labled with "No GMO's". Some things are definitely harder to figure out. It seems like one of things that you are kinda forced to live with.

It can be so hard to know! I'm just going self sufficient homegrown as much as possible. Thinking about getting my own wheat grinder and buying wheat berries instead of flour too

We're growing our own garden as well and are working towards getting a small farm. It's unreal how many things the government has fooled us on. We should know what is in our food. I have a few pics I'll post so you guys don't have to search for them. They're on my facebook fan page if you're interested in that. I post lots of stuff on safer things for us.

This is the Monsanto List of Brands to avoid. If you actually start looking, this is at least 75% of the foods in any grocery store!!!!! Staggering!

"Organic" Foods that have been bought out by the monopolistic monsters!

This is false. Some if not all use GMO's, but Monsanto does not own these. Research people. Don't trust everything that goes viral without researching it first.
