This is a very important article that shares a common experience of farmers who have gone the route of GMO seeds and farming.
The Post-GMO Economy; Truth about GMOs on the farm

This article relates to the chapter in my book, "Grow A Healthier Pizza"
called "Wheat has come Home to Haunt and inspire us"
The issue of Gluten Free relates to seeds that have been manipulated. I am very drawn to the research of Robert Quinn of KAMUT INTERNATIONAL who finds health benefits in using the original ancient wheat that has not been modified by modern techniques.

THIS SITE HAS THE RESEARCH OF DR ROBERT QUINN
1. BACKGROUND PHILOSOPHY AND CURRENT FOCUS
Our research focus is based on one ancient teaching and two modern observations:
The teaching: Twenty-three hundred years ago among the many teachings of Hippocrates was the idea, loosely translated: “Medicine should be our food and food should be our medicine.” We are starting with this idea and applying it to two modern observations.
The 1st observation: An ever increasing number of people can no longer enjoy eating modern wheat as a staple in their diets because of some type of sensitivity or malady caused by consuming wheat.
The 2nd observation: Over the past 25 years many KAMUT® Brand grain customers have told us countless encouraging anecdotal stories. The problems they experienced after eating modern wheat simply did not occur when they ate KAMUT® Brand ancient wheat products. These reports continue to increase as the number and availability of KAMUT® Brand products on the market continues to grow.
