the non-gmo project

[image error]

The non-GMO project is a great non-profit organization founded by leaders of the organic and natural products industry that evaluates and labels foods to indicate which products are free of genetically modified organisms GMOs. They are one of the leading voices fighting corruption among food producers and government officials. If it weren't for activists like them we'd have no idea which foods and beauty products contain GMOs and which do not!
 
The reason GMOs are a cause for concern is that they haven't been scientifically proven to be safe – which is why they are outlawed in Europe. So far the US government has relied upon studies conducted by companies who produce GMO foods to prove that GMOs are safe. Seems like quite a conflict of interest!
 
Luckily for us the non-GMO project has a super reader-friendly website about what GMOs are where you can find them and how you can avoid them. On their website you can find lists of brands that are GMO free organized by category or brand name. You can also download the Non-GMO Project PDF or iPhone app so you can have these lists handy when you go to the grocery store!

Do you avoid GMO foods? Do they creep you out as much as they do me?
