Just wanted to let people know. I was looking at cupcakes at the Giant in Maryland. On the ingredient label was a statement, "Contains a bioengineered Ingredient." When I asked at the Giant (the cupcakes are shipped but I believe made by Giant) the baker at the store said he thought it was referring to the wheat and that it is whey and other things added. I called the main office and they checked and said it was (cell phone driving, didn't write/couldn't write it down) something to do with the corn and by law they had to put this statement on the label. I asked the woman if she understood what she told me and she said well, not really but it must be on the label. I'm wondering if they put bugs in the flour??
No, not bugs, it is for GMO crops, and corn is a big one. Our small town tried to pass a law that no GMO crops should be grown adjacent to organic farms, because of the pollen blow from corn unto the non GMO corn. That was a town meeting to remember! I know that food is sold as GMO free, so that is probably what the label means.
Thank you for the reply. So, GMO is bad but I imagine organic and non GMO would be good foods?
Yes, GMO is bad, the results are still coming in, they lack the nutrition of the original food, they allow more and more pesticides and herbicides to be used that would normally kill a plant, but are resistave to it, can cause long term auto immune issues, cause food allergies. Non GMO does not mean organic, so, always better than GMO. Here is a small link with a slide show. https://www.slideshare.net/mimo009/negative-impact-of-gm-foods
That was informative, thanks.
Unfortunately, most all foods have this on the labels now :( Contains a bioengineered Ingredient And we cant even trust pure foods (produce and meats) that are in grocery stores due to how they are grown/raised, processed/slaughtered/shipped. TPTB want us sick/poisoned and dead and they have put their evil hands into blackmailing a LOT of people that are tied to the businesses and services we use.
Thanks for the reply also. I hope we aren't ambushed on the food level, that would be terrible.
I used to be a health inspector. California law says that food can have a very small amount (I forget how small) of rodent hairs and bug parts. They know it's too much work to totally eliminate these but it needs to be reasonably controlled.
