GMOs AND THE FOOD WAR!

The most serious crisis we have been facing in modern times is regarding our FOOD and our health- the issue of GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS. The Question most of us concerned consumers are asking : To what extent are the ingredients in our food being genetically engineered, and what are the short and long-term effects of eating these genetically-manipulated foods?  It is not enough to simply choose vegetarianism to avoid unhealthy toxins and cancer-causing diets.  What is far more important is knowing WHERE your food originated and HOW it was produced.  We as consumers who directly affect the demand of all the products and produce we consume, have become very lax in taking advantage of this power of choice.  We just take what we get , too lazy to investigate what we put in our bodies or to take the time to understand what the writing on the packaging means.  First, realize that the food you buy in the supermarket is labelled, written  up, and designed to 1. attract you, and 2. inform you.   Most of us stop at the "attract" part  and don't appreciate the time it took for the makers of these products to break down all this information that covers the entire surface of the product.  This is the first step to identifying  what we want and what we eat.   The main reason companies that use GMOs have been getting away with it, is because consumers in America and its "colonies" are generally carefree about the sources of their food.  The only specification we are given so far is whether a product is ORGANIC.  Organic is produced without the use of pesticides, hormones, synthetic fertilizers and other man-made substances.  Also specified on some packages is NON-GMO, which refers to food and animal products that are not produced in labs or GMO facilities.  With these product labels becoming the new rage, many companies are starting to improve the quality of the foods they produce, but some use misleading terms like "WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS" to trick consumers into believing these products are good for them. (Reminds me of another misleading phrase on personal care products, "for healthy-looking skin".) We have to take charge to understand what some of these ingredients really are, how they are processed, and the scary part, WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE YOUR BODY WHEN YOU CONSUME THESE SUBSTANCES.  Big companies that market GMO products and other businesses that capitalize from the success of these companies will make it seem alright and even beneficial to consume such foods, the effects of which even they don't know. I don't think I can explain any better than these experts on the topic. Please make the time to watch this documentary:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnlTYFKBg18&sns=em
