10. So what to do?
Use the power of your purse. There are farmer's markets out there, CSAs, U pick 'ems, roadside stands and other such sellers. All of which sell healthy, nutritious, non-GM food, that is grown naturally, without chemicals. Of, if you have the space and time, you can grow your own. If we all started buying our produce this way, the power of the purse would force a change.

Sure, this can be a bit more expensive(though not necessarily), it does require more time, and in the winter you have to rely on produce that you've frozen, canned or otherwise preserved. But is your health not worth it? In my opinion it is, and judging from the posts here, others think so also.

So walk away from the grocery store, get to know your local small farmers, get to know your food. You won't regret it, and those folks who've been suddenly unable to eat or digest corn, well, I've got some Country Gentleman for you, an heirloom variety going back to 1890, that you'll just absolutely love.
