We don't eat out as much anymore either, but it's not because we're
avoiding GMO foods to the same degree as the author - it's because I
can produce above average, restaurant quality, food at home. The
added perk is I know exactly what's in it.

One can't take this article seriously when the author thinks that the US
*Geological* Survey is a source for information on GMOs.

One of the reasons I don't eat out very often is the amount of salt that
restaurant chefs use.

Please spare me the ads with no scientific research sites. If they
can't link to a scientific study, they are just one more ad.

Yup! But gee, it sounded official!

We pretty much only eat out now if we haven't got much choice, because
others want to. Like for a party or if I have to take my mom out. If I am
far from home, I would prefer to find a grocery store and make do with what
I can find but my husband isn't willing to so we might eat out then, but
mostly I don't venture far from home if I don't have to.

My food isn't always better. Sometimes it's the same. It's rarely worse.
But it's always cheaper.

Maybe you should check USGS first.

GMO companies all have plenty of "research sites". Monsanto is
even hiring!

This person's story sounds much like mine. I try to buy non-GMO
foods, but sometimes it's hard. I can't afford to buy organic grnd
pork at $12lb. But, I can afford non-GMO potato chips when they're on
sale for half price.

Near as I can tell, this is simply relating one's experiences with
non-GMO foods. What ad? Justins? I hadda look it up. I'll believe
this website long before I'll believe any Monsanto website, whether
it's linked to a "scientific study" or not.

And it's that sort of thinking that has given rise to the anti-vaxxer
movement
and encouraged the Big Pharma-Big Agro-Big-Anything conspiracy theorists.

I don't know how closely you followed the case if you are talking about
a farmer under contract to Monsanto. Schmeiser was not under contract to
Monsanto. He was developing his one strain of canola. His defense was
that he did not plant the Monsanto product and that it had contaminated
his field.

Farmers are funny that way. We had a wheat marketing board that was
given a monopoly for buying and selling wheat and barley. It was a
pretty good deal for the farmers because it paid them market price for
their grain, stored it and then sold it for them. It was great for the
farmers when there was no market for their product. Then when the market
was hot some of the farmers thought they could sell their grain
elsewhere for more. It was like wanting to buy crop insurance after a
disaster, or getting car insurance after an accident.
