GMOs are so pervasive, the only way to avoid them is to eat organic. And with rising prices, how many people can afford to do that? How much GMO is in your food storage? Beet sugar is now GMO, so unless it says "100% cane sugar" then it's probably GMO. Papaya is now mostly GMO. The "Big 4" GMO crops are corn, cotton, canola, and soy, which are in almost everything in some form or another.
The best prices are probably not the best buys any longer. I have some Canola Oil in my supplies. Thankfully, it's only two gallons, which I will be disposing. The rest is mostly olive and some peanut oil.
It's more important now than ever to grow your own food, as much as possible.

It's hard to eat an animal you knew when it was alive.
My friends took a pig to a butcher that we all fed /petted, when they got the meat back was cooking it my stomach was turning had to limit my time spent around them
I try to avoid prepackage stuff. If I am not sure, I read the lable the more words that are unpronounceable, the more suspect they are.
I buy anything corn organic only at the health food store: corn grits, corn meal, cornstarch, sweet corn. That's about all I can afford to buy organic.
I buy from the organic section more now than I ever have.
Unfortunately a lot of the animal feeds are gmo. You can get organic feeds for chickens for example, but that costs like around $30.00+ per bag which a lot of people cannot afford. Best way I get around this is to turn my birds out for a few hours to eat other things like greens, grubs, bugs, etc and I add to their drink once or twice a week a good vitamin/mineral/probiotic formula such as avia charge 2000.
Nah, don't want to me no meat eater. I'm winding down eating meat, but not there yet. I don't eat red meat and have chicken or fish 3x week. I guess this makes me a half-assed vegetarian, but I do feel better not having so much meat in my diet. I read that over 95% of US corn is GMO, so that means that animal feed is probably GMO. Plus, even if your corn isn't, GMO corn migrates by wind and pollinators, contaminating other fields that may not be GMO.
When you buy scratch feed for you chickens is it GMO, feed from your grainery? Is the corn for your Pigs GMO? Still want to be meat eaters?
