Grow with no GMOs; lessen food miles

From Global Research:

Genetically engineered foods saturate our diet today. In the US alone, over 80% of all processed foods contain them. Others include grains like rice, corn and wheat; legumes like soybeans and soy products; vegetable oils, soft drinks; salad dressings; vegetables and fruits; dairy products including eggs; meat, chicken, pork and other animal products; and even infant formula plus a vast array of hidden additives and ingredients in processed foods (like in tomato sauce, ice cream, margarine and peanut butter). Consumers don’t know what they’re eating because labeling is prohibited, yet the danger is clear. Independently conducted studies show the more of these foods we eat, the greater the potential harm to our health.

Just another reason to start your own garden with open pollinated seeds. Got very little space? There is nothing wrong with growing vegetables in pots on that 3rd story apartment patio. Take a look a one of my old Philmont buddies, Daniel. He put his porch to good use.
By growing your own food, you are not only eating healthier, but also reducing food miles. On average, produce you purchase from the grocery store travels around 1800 miles to get there. Thus, a continuing dependence of petrodiesel. If you are not able to grow certain items, then buy local, or buy in bulk and stock up.
