Raw Vegan Diet

Healthy Living with a High Raw Vegan Diet

Support The Non-GMO Project

by admin

Non-GMO ProjectEveryday, more and more of our food ingredients contain genetically modified organisms (GMO). The list is always growing and it can be overwhelming trying to keep up with it.

Currently, 93% of our soybean crop and 86% of our corn is now genetically modified. Other major crops affected are canola and cottonseed oil at 93% and sugar beets, which are predominately used in the production of sucrose, is at a whopping 95%. Even something like Hawaiian Papaya is now 80% genetically modified.

Many of us are concerned about this, and in 2005, a group of natural food retailers formed the Non-GMO Project, with the goal of creating a standard meaning of what is Non-GMO. The project has been expanded now to include consumers, retailers, farmers and food manufacturers.

According to the projects study, GMO’s now make up as much as 80% of today’s conventional processed foods, and because of consumer concerns, more companies are going through non-GMO verification . You will find the Non-GMO seal featured on their products and there is a complete list of verified  brands at the projects website : www.nongmoproject.org

Look for the project’s seal and support these brands to help slow, or better yet, stop the growth of food ingredients with genetically modified organisms.
