One comment I hear over and over is GMOs are poison. But when you look at the research, over 2 trillion meals have been served with absolutely no evidence of ANY ill effect from ANY GE food. I can go on and on and on with hundreds of statistics and research that proves GE foods are safe. But when you are a mom and it’s your responsibility to feed your family healthy and safe food, you can’t help but take notice of these claims against GMOs. Emotion takes over and statistics go by the wayside.
Moms need to be smart consumers and not fall for “food fear” marketing tactics. I know–it’s hard. And all too often, consumers end up paying more for the “GMO-free”. Remember the “follow the money” adage? That’s exactly what this is about. It’s about the money. In regards to General Mills Cheerios decision-the old and new Cheerios are the same. Oats are the main ingredient in Cheerios and oats are not Genetically Engineered. The little bit of sugar used for taste is highly processed, which means it contains no DNA, therefore cannot be genetically engineered. Do you see where this is going? Let’s be smart, moms. Let’s do our research and not fall into “food fear” marketing campaigns. These companies know exactly what they are doing and it means big dollars ($) for these companies.
