[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many years ago, I used to love shopping at Fresh Fields, and then at Whole Foods.  Gradually Whole Foods has shifted from high quality food with an emphasis on organic foods, and what I was told was a supportive work environment, to something much less than that, while maintaining their high prices.

This is definitely a champagne problem, but, after I ate the last of some chocolate covered almonds, I turned the container over to get recycling information. I was shocked to see: “produced with genetic engineering “.  Despite the changes, I thought that food purchased from Whole Foods could be reliably assured to have no artificial colors or flavors, and to be non-GMO.  I was wrong.  I’ll be label reading more carefully when I shop and relying more on Trader Joe’s, which will also be less expensive.  [/quote]

Generic engineering of food is a goddamn miracle helping to solve food insecurity worldwide. Your dislike of it is peculiar. Why do you hate progress?[/quote]

We have had enough food to feed everyone on the planet for years and years now. We don't need GMO food to do that -- we CHOOSE not to. Human nature hasn't changed. Now farmers have to pay for seeds, and we are expected to eat food with Roundup INSIDE it. If that's progress, no thanks.[/quote]

Actually this is all wrong.[/quote]
