GMO Wheat Found on Oregon Farm

 Other Countries Don't Allow GMO Foods, Why Do We?

If you have read the news today in Oregon, one of the more interesting headlines includes a topic about an Eastern Oregon Farmer who found GMO Wheat seed on his farm.  (See article below).  This article speaks mostly to the economic impact this will have on the market, which is significant.  However I am still more concerned about the health effects that GMO foods have on our body, and the tendency toward disease I think they cause.  It brings up the question:  Why are other countries banning this type of seed and the USA continues to allow production and farming with this seed?  The conclusion one almost immediately arrives at it that the company making this GMO seed (Monsanto) is US based company that is profiting from the sale of this seed in the US. 
Certainly other countries, such as Japan, must have enough evidence to feel this type of food product is not safe enough for their citizens to suspend purchase of the seed.  Maybe the US should re-think this whole use of GMO seeds.  Maybe this huge economic impact will be just enough for the FDA to reconsider GMO food safety.  I certainly hope so.  For the health and wellness of all of us.
In the meantime, I am continuing with my commitment to nutritional cleansing and avoiding GMO foods.  If you are interested in doing the same, check out my Isagenix website for more information and feel free to contact me.
