Date: February 08, 2011 07:42PM Is there a master list anywhere in the world of which species have been modified and which have not? And what exactly has been done? Re: GMO and NONGMO

Date: February 08, 2011 08:42PM Major GMO crops are corn, soy, wheat, canola and cottonseed.
On produce stickers 4 numbers is conventionally grown. 5 numbers starting with 9 is organic. 5 numbers starting with 8 is GMO. For now. There are plans in the works to change labelling laws so there will be no way to tell if things are GMO, organic or not. Oh, and organic doesn't necessarily mean non-GMO anymore. Re: GMO and NONGMO

Date: February 08, 2011 09:15PM My aunt is sending me some berry seeds from back home. I am almost afraid to say what these plants are, I am sure they will be gmo before i know it.
Gads,I hate that its a night mare! thanks for the info though. I will look at the little stickers more closely. its weird that the info is there, but is in code. I guess too few people are interested in knowing this? Re: GMO and NONGMO

Date: February 08, 2011 09:32PM I think it's for tracking purposes only, like in case there is a food borne illness that they have to figure out the source of or something. It certainly isn't there for US! Re: GMO and NONGMO

Date: February 08, 2011 09:55PM that is just too weird. Ultimately its supposed to be there for us.(the product)But if its just for money, then I guess it makes sense. Re: GMO and NONGMO

Where did you find this info., coco? Is there more "code" I should be aware of so I can decipher my food before I eat it? 
Seriously, though - if you have a link to a site where this knowledge is avail., please share.  Re: GMO and NONGMO

Date: February 08, 2011 10:57PM Youtube from organic alliance or one of those groups, sorry I totally forget exactly where. I've read it before though, on here and other places. There is the list of the dirty dozen as well, 12 highest in pesticides and the 12 lowest for choosing what to buy organic when you can't afford to buy ALL organic. Re: GMO and NONGMO

Date: February 09, 2011 02:18PM This is the most recent info I could find on this:
[www.seedsofdeception.com] This might be what coco refers to, but note--apparently, it's fictive: [kblog.lunchboxbunch.com] THIS explains why(from a year ago in the HuffPo): [www.huffingtonpost.com] And the link imbedded in the above: [www.nongmoshoppingguide.com] Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
