It was a normal day. My kids had probably poured themselves cereal that morning for breakfast. Good old Corn Flakes maybe. Lunch was likely PB & J with some chips and carrots with dressing to dip. Maybe our snack that day was my famous no bake oatmeal/chocolate/peanut butter balls.
I really don't remember what I fed my children that day. What I do know is that over the course of a normal afternoon I took the time to watch a documentary that changed my perspective on every single food item I had served my children - for their entire lives.
I didn't know! I had no clue what a GMO was.
The documentary I watched is Genetic Roulette. I was stunned. The Corn Flakes, the peanut butter, the jelly, the bread, the chips, the dip, the chocolate chips... nearly everything I had offered my children that day was made with genetically modified ingredients! Overwhelming? YES!
But I did not let the new knowledge go. I was on a mission to figure out how to get these ingredients out of my home. And after months of research and perseverance, I did it. If I can do this, anyone can. Your first step? Educate yourself. You can get an idea by watching this small YouTube clip.
I would suggest taking an hour of your day and renting the full version which you can get here: http://geneticroulettemovie.com/.
Watch the documentary and then come back and visit this blog. Together we will figure out how to clean up our pantries!
