Very handy, since there is so much rapid change in this area.

I put all of these links into a Grocery folder onto my desk top, so handy when I make the grocery list.

If you find this helpful, perhaps a rec. for the swing and night shift folks here....?

2. nice collection! I would like to add Chipotle since they went GMO free last week....

8. 2 things to add.

Herbicide tolerant means the plant sucks up the sprayed herbicides and we eat them.
( damn, sorry to see the zucchini on that list)

USA sugar is made from beets ( GMO) and also from sugar cane ( not yet GMO) so I make sure to buy Cane sugar.

11. the zucchini thing is just weird -- why mess with zucchini?

but then again, why mess with any of our foods?

"My Saint" introduced sweet corn back in 2013 so we should be asking at stores and farm stands (too) for non-GMO sweet corn:

Chipotle has been talking the talk for a while. Nice to see them walking the walk.

And McDonald's seems to be taking notice. Consumers have the power to stop GMO and labeling is going to help a lot:

16. I've been cane-sugar only forever

Target usually has a great brand of "raw" cane sugar at really good price.

I didn't know about sugar beets; even though sugar is sugar, cane sugar doesn't jack my blood glucose the way beet sugar does. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense, but the effect is measurable enough that I just buy cane sugar.

4. Thank you, that is great information. We have found a small farm not far from where we are

which is HMO free. They are very small and can only supply a small number of people. But I am thrilled to have found them. Aside from what we grow ourselves, we can supplement that by buying from them.

People are really concerned about this issues.

Nine states are now planning to make it the law that all foods be labeled.

However, in anticipation of this, there is a bill before Congress that if it it passes, would over rule these States.

A bill referred to as the Dark Act, and it is Monsanto's dream legislation.

10. We have access to grass fed beef again this year.

The pork/chicken/turkey seller tho, charges like 8.00 a # for his meats, which is a bit high for my budget.

But a simple google search turns up dozens of local organic produce/fruit growers in this state...yayyyyyyy.

Our local co-op is diligent about the foods they carry.
Only place I shop.

17. excellent info!

I work at a coop in MA that is attempting to go GMO free and without labeling laws it's difficult. We have a hot bar for lunch and dinner and our prices would go up significantly if we were to only serve GMO free products. (Green beans for instance... who knew you can't get frozen green beans in bulk that are certified GMO free? [At least not through our 9 distributors]) As a local coop our mission is to keep good food affordable and accessible, but our member owners want to be GMO free... so as a cook i sometimes have to explain how hard it is to know what is and isn't likely to be a GMO crop. That shouldn't be my job.

That's a slightly incoherent mini-rant, i apologize. Winding down before bed...

looking forward to exploring the rest of your links tomorrow...

20. I hope this will help a bit.

Every time I think about how we have such a captured Gov't I see red.

I had an organic farm in the late 70's/early 80's, we started a Farmer's Market which is STILL going strong, and we had a Co-op.
What I would not have given for a computer back then.

23. Shameless kick...in light of this news today

USDA develops first government label for GMO-free products

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141093244

The more we refuse to buy GMO's or at least complain to the sellers about it, the more they will listen, as it seems they are already doing.

28. There's an app for that. :)

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I just downloaded it today, and it helps avoid GMOs, Koch Bros products, and many other categories.

It's pretty new, so the developers are expanding their database as I type this. They solicit input from users about new products to add and ideas for new campaigns - and you can even start your own campaign.

Very cool. Check it out!
