If we purchase our foods...

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU ministers and national experts are due to approve a genetically modified (GMO) sugar beet variety this month despite a long running dispute over the use of biotechnology.
Officials say around 10 GMO products, mostly maize types but also cotton, soybeans and a high-starch potato, are scheduled for discussion at various levels of the EU in the next few months.
Although the bloc's member governments clash consistently over GMOs, never reaching the required majority under its weighted voting system to authorize new biotech products, that deadlock doesn't stop authorizations being granted.

Hi Raynbo,
If it is a true organic store, no. I didn't have a garden this year. Just too very busy. On looking back, I probably chose the wrong priority. However, canning takes so much time.
Instead what I do now is go to the amish community and by my produce there. I do my best not to look at the cakes and breads. Oh yum! I only buy their breads if I am having a dinner party, as it really must be eaten right away. Otherwise, I freeze it. But there is nothing like fresh baked amish bread.
However, in certain parts of the country, the FDA is cracking down on what the amish community can sell which I find absolutely horrendous. They are not here yet and I hope they never arrive.
Hugs,
Luella
