I do agree with what you say about GMO's. I have been trying to get out the message for a few years. Most people seem to trust Uncle Sam and the FDA. I noticed that you said you wern't worried about the medical GMO's. Unfortunately, I don't think that you can count on the government on that either. Most people won't have a clue that GMO's are in there meds. There is one that is heavily advertized on TV that my husband took when he had Cancer. Remember, they are unlabeled. Unfortunately, GMO's are now contained in some supplements. Remember, they are UNLABELED. Sorry state, but I don't see the government protecting medicine any better than they currently seem to be protecting anything else. If the GMO medicial ingredients drift off into someone elses food, meant for the food supply, Oh well, time for Big Brother to start bitching about trial lawyers. Paula
