I guess I don't watch my diet well enough cause I just eat anything. This reminds me of a great "Degrassi" episode though. One of the characters Emma was trying to sign a petition so stop the cafeteria from serving GMOs.

I don't buy products from them anymore (basically any on that list) and have become more set on making nearly all of my food at home from scratch. America is one of the only countries where fighting for knowledge of what's in our food is an issue. In Europe it's mandatory for companies to label GMO products.

I stopped eating them a long time ago and although its not mandated to label GMOs in the US yet I avoid buying any food with cornstarch since most corn is now GMO. Totally sad because I LOVE cereal and Cheerios especially but can't eat them now. Some news with Cheerios is flooding social media and its very interesting! Just check out their fb page, lots of angry customers who found out they were eating GMOs. Obviously no judgment here- everyone chooses what they eat and that's a persons individual right :) I think the bigger issue people have is general mills and other food retailers not truthfully labeling products. <a href="http://www.cheeseslave.com/cheerios-gmo-backlash-facebook-campaign-fail/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cheeseslave.com/cheerios-gmo-backlash-facebook-campaign-fail/</a>
