Genetically Engineered Foods and Stuff
I've become somewhat of pescatarian in the past year--- I really only like to eat fish. And fish that is uncooked, as well (Sushi, anyone?). I have major issues with the United States Department of Agriculture and the food company conglomerates that are controlling the marketplace (Sources: Fast Food Nation, The Way We Eat, Documentary: Super Size Me, Documentary: The Future of Food, The Fatland of America)
I have the information available to make a smart decision when it comes to what I eat, yet I still buy my groceries at Albertson's or Smith's, and I still eat out at *gasp* fast food restaurants. And all these stores and restaurants are full of foods that have been genetically modified. U.S. food regulation agencies turn their head the other way for the right price, and so far, there has only been ONE human study of G.E. food effects. These scientists and laboratories are creating seeds that can only grow when certain pesticides are sprayed on them. Ironically, the pesticide industry has bought out the seed industry. So farmers who grow G.E. corn MUST also use the company's pesticide.
I am taking a stand against this evil and corrupt industry. I hereby promise to only eat Organic Consumers Association Organic-Certified products. I will not eat out unless I know the food is organic. I will not eat meat unless I know the farms have grass-fed their animals and let them roam free in a pasture instead of piled on top of each other on a stock farm. Seriously you guys... this is for real! I already know which grocery stores I can shop at. Take a stand with me and vote with your dollar! Don't buy fast food or non-organic products! Your health (and your future/current children's health) is at risk.
P.S. I really don't care if YOU buy organic. So we can still be friends.
P.P.S. I'm not trying to attack any of my friend-moms.



4 people have something to say about this:
Which grocery stores can you shop at?
I, unfortunately, am still working on controlling the amount of junk food I consume. Organic will have to wait.
I am impressed by your decision, though.
does this mean no more steak n shake???
Nothing is safe anymore, not even sushi:

I keep thinking of doing that, but then I see how everything organic is 2 or 3 times more expensive and I remember, oh, ya, I still need money so I'll wait until I'm rich to eat organic...
