In reply to Janet Sellers. You right 100%. Now mostly impossible to find any products without poisoning oils. I’m carefuly trying to find good ones for my family, but my teenagers don’t care. They brainwashed by TikTok and other social…. Very difficult time for humanity.

In reply to Robert Fritsch. US federal agencies are limited by their enabling laws and appropriated budgets. Because the budgets rarely fund the entire mandates, leadership tells the staff what to prioritize. In addition, the courts have been ruling against the regulatory authorities of Executive Branch agencies. Our best remedies are to raise awareness, vote in elections, lobby our elected officials, and write to the Executive Branch agencies during public comment periods.

Non GMO verification doesn’t mean the food doesn’t contain agricultural chemicals/toxins or even ‘small amounts’ of GMO ingredients.

In my view, Non-GMO verification doesn’t help the actual natural food movement nor the consumer.

It’s another kind of greenwashing…

When the non-GMO Project came out with its verification, I feared what then soon was happening: It contributed to the confusion among consumers. Most still think, “well, it’s non-GMO verified, so it must be toxin free and safe.” It isn’t necessarily so. Agricultural chemicals can still make it on your produce, fruit, grains etc. This is esp. true for processed foods where even GMO ingredients can easily get hidden and aren’t required to be disclosed on the label. With this label, people are poisoning themselves while they trust their food choices. So, in my view, the Non-GMO verified label is another greenwashing scam, and always has been.

I agree with everything in your article. I am careful about reading labels and try not to buy much in the processed food line, though I do buy bread, mayonnaise, and some stuff like that. However, until and unless you and others start to acknowledge geoengineering and the fact that everything is now sprayed with toxins from the skies in the pursuit of dimming the sun and cooling the earth, there is little chance that anything is healthful anymore. I buy fresh vegetables that now rot from the inside out. Black, slimy lettuce, celery that’s brown and mushy, onions that rot in little time. Something must be done about the aluminum and plastic nano particles along with barium and strontium that are being unleashed on the earth.

Growing up on an organic farm in CA, and living a healthy organic lifestyle into my mid-80s, label-reading is indeed essential. Also totally staying out of Whole Foods Markets, avoiding Kellogg’s products and anything related to Bayer-Monsanto is one strategy my family uses to be as healthy as possible.

Excellent article however I would note that label GMO is the result of greenwashing too! The industry was having real problems when their sh*t was called “genetically engineered”. Sadly nearly everyone has internalized this bit of deception and does the biotech industry a favor by calling it genetically modified.

As a chef, restaurant owner & caterer, I’ve been in the industry for well over 40 years with an organic regenerative food lifestyle reflecting my work. I’ve noticed canola oil, soybean oil & other vegetable oils in many of the frozen food products in Trader Joes, Sprouts, Whole Foods, etc. People please read your label before you purchase for your table.
