Is Your Favorite Food Safe?


Greenpeace has put together The True Food Shopping List.  

What is it?  It is a list of food manufacturers who are committed to NOT using genetically engineered (GE) foods and a list of manufaturers who most likely use GE ingredients.  It starts out as a list of vague everyday categories, but when you click on one, you receive the 2 lists of the "good" and the "bad". 

The reason:  As we have learned so far there isn't a federal mandate to label GE foods.  Not knowing makes it hard to be comfortable with what you are buying.  The True Food Shopping List eliminates any guess work.  Though it's not 100% thorough, yet, you can begin now in making informed buying decisions.  And every time Greenpeace receives more information they update the List.   

I'm glad I read it.  I was surprised to see my favorite bread and cereal on the "bad" list.  However, I also saw the perfect alternatives on the "good" list.  Check it out.  (When you do, be sure to keep clicking "next" at the bottom so you can see all product categories.)
