GMOs are the next goal I'm tackling once I've got sugar conquered (ha...ha). It was actually the trailer for this documentary that set these wheels in motion a few months ago and made me want to learn about GMOs. I've since seen another documentary and read a book and am working through another on the issue of GMOs, and I have to say that it's one of the scarier issues in my opinion. Pesticides aren't great, high fructose corn syrup is gross, but GMOs? They're in an entirely different playing field and what I've learned has me steering as clear of these bad boys as much as is humanly possible.
I just noticed that the documentary that originally piqued my interest is now out and they're streaming it free this week. I just watched it this morning and it's pretty educational. If you really don't know anything about GMOs (like I didn't about a month ago), you will learn a lot about why GMOs are such a hot topic right now and how they may really be affecting nearly every facet of our health. I know that sounds radical/extreme/alarmist, but I really don't think it is. It really hits home for our family because there may be a strong connection between the rapid rise in allergies/asthma/eczema (as well as increased autism, GI disorders and infertility) and GMOs. Watch here.
They also have a section about shopping for non-GMO products that was helpful for us.
