For those of you who want to know why its important to pay attention to genetically modified foods, this is a good link:

And I found this about genetically engineered foods:

http://www.truefoodnow.org/home_whatis.html

"To create GE crops, genes from bacteria, viruses, plants, animals and even humans have been inserted into plants like soybeans, corn, canola, and cotton. Multinational chemical companies like Monsanto have taken our staple crops and altered them in order to patent and profit from them by increasing their chemical and seed sales and gaining control over farmers and the food chain itself. The same companies that brought us DDT, PCBs and Agent Orange now expect us to trust them with our food supply."
