It’s Hard to Find Non-GMO Food
We knew that a lot of American crops were genetically modified. For example, we noted last year:
- The USDA reports that 93% of all soy and 85% of all corn grown in the U.S. is an herbicide-resistant GE variety
- Similarly, around 93% of all cottonseed oil and more than 90% of all canola oil produced in the U.S. is herbicide-resistant GE
But we didn’t realize how widespread GMO foods have really become …
On Tuesday, the chair of the Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry of the House Committee on Agriculture – Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania – said in Congressional testimony :
Nearly 80 percent of the food produced in the United States contains some kind of GM product …
Bottom line: It’s difficult to find non-GMO American food … especially since the feds are doing everything they can to keep us in the dark.
