GMO Discussion Cont'd

In case you have ever wondered about the ongoing experiment on the human population in regards to GMOs in our food supply, here is a journal article about feeding rats GMO seeds and (US allowable amounts of) the matching herbicide laden water.  Spoiler alert: rats on this diet had significant life span reductions.

Again for the record Brines Farm doesn't come anywhere close to thinking about planting GMO seeds.  Definitely pays to "know your farmer".  Remember if you are buying any processed or packaged foods (I know we all do sometimes) that unless you know the purveyor it is best to look for "100% certified organic" since organic (even with the seal) only has to have 95% organic ingredients on processed items and "made with organic ingredients" and "contains organic ingredients" are even less stringent.  Forgive me for a sidebar but this also means you are putting all your faith in the entire food chain including certifiers up and down the food chain... so always best to make your own things whenever possible from ingredients you of know.
