Thanks to my lovely wife for pointing this out to me. Once you find something organic, you don't have to worry about it being genetically modified.
"In addition, as mandated in the USDA's National Organic Standards, products labeled organic cannot be grown from genetically engineered seed or made with genetically engineered ingredients. Therefore, choosing any product labeled organic in any supplier's label in the Trader Joe's stores is another way to choose foods and beverages that are not genetically engineered."Note that the converse is not true. If you find a product advertised as non-GMO, it certainly doesn't mean that it is organic. It may well be loaded up with all sorts of undesireable chemicals. Hmmm... speaking of "converse", where do you think the name Converse for the shoes came from? Posted by torque at August 13, 2004 12:36 AM | TrackBack
