GMO Diet Journal
Ok, so here it goes. I kept track of what ate yesterday, and well, most of it, if not all potentially has GM components to it. I must admit, I was a little disappointed. According to my "Food Diary", I had some fried potatoes with pork, some ramen noodles, a glass of Pepsi, and water of course. Out of all that, only potatoes and water, are potentially genetically in tact. Everything else has one or more components to it like soy beans or corn that could be genetically modified crops. Also, from what I could tell, the farthest distance traveled by any of those foods to get to my table was for the "Ramen Noodle Soup", it traveled all the way from California, where it was manufactured. After doing a little bit of the research on the subject, I am now convinced that labeling GM food is rather a necessity than a luxury. I had no idea that most of the foods i eat every day are most likely genetically modified in one way or another. People have the right to know.

Ramen noodles are very good. And I agree with you on how people have the right to know where thier food is coming from. Although sometimes that might not be such a good idea ha.
