How do we keep these frankenfoods out of our bodies?

How dangerous are GMOs?

It depends entirely upon who you ask. There are studies out there that say GMOs are incredibly harmful to your gut and can cause disease in the long term.

Others indicate no serious health complications. It's relatively new technology that hasn't been tested over the course of decades, which leaves a lot of question marks.

One of the most damaging aspects of GMOs comes in the form of, not health problems, but issues of liberty.

If big biotech companies patent their GMO seeds and force heirlooms off the market through standard capitalistic means or by rendering them illegal, that takes food ownership away from the people.

This puts it squarely in the hands of people who are already absurdly wealthy.

That means no more seed saving, no more breeding your own livestock; you'll have to get it from Dupont or Monsanto or another company.

So how do we counteract these forces? We hit it where it hurts the most: in their pockets. In a free market, we have the final say, and our dollars are like votes for the kinds of products we want to have available to us.

Don't want GMOs? Then we need to stop buying them. But how do we know the difference?
