My point is, if it is such a worry (GMOs) then purchase from your local farm stands or butchers that you know an trust to be selling "free" foods. Someone said it here, we've been manipulating foods for 1000s of years. It's not about the foods, its about what YOU consume, how much and how often.
Not disparraging anyone, but standing up against GMOs saying you eat healthy, is like PETA protesting and wearing a full leather belt, shoes and driving a vehicle with leather seating.

My problem with Monsanto isn't the use of GMOs. It's their unscrupulous tactics to monopolize markets. For me it's less about the technology, and more about responsible implementation.
There's a lot more to eating healthy than just personal willpower.
