As a Vegan, do you need to care about or even advocate for non-GMO food production?\u00a0 Well, considering that the 9 genetically engineered food crops currently on the market in the U.S. are all \u201cVegan\u201d, and that tomatoes are being mixed with flounder genes in order to grow larger and more quickly the answer might be a resounding YES. \u00a0But the biggest kicker of them all is the fact that companies who use GMO\u2019s in their food and drink concoctions have no legal requirement to tell us.<\/p>\n

Genetically Modified Organisms(GMO\u2019s) are plants or animals that have been genetically altered by scientists with the goal being to improve its ability to grow in non-native environments, resist pests, tolerate extreme weather conditions, produce more food or show other desired traits.\u00a0 The U.S Government approved GE (genetically engineered) crops nearly 20 years ago.\u00a0 Today corn and soy make up more than 90% of the acres planted.\u00a0 Five countries grow 90% of the world\u2019s genetically engineered crops; the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Argentina and India.<\/p>\n

Just to be clear, GMO\u2019s are different from hybridization and selective breeding.\u00a0 Selective breeding is the process of breeding plants and animals for particular traits in the attempt to make the animal or plant better in some way. For instance, when you cross a blackberry with a raspberry you get a boysenberry (hybrid). These two methods are have been around for at least a thousand years and to this day are quite effective.<\/p>\n

Why Do Scientists Believe That GMO Foods Are Worth Producing<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0The plant is more resistant to herbicides and insectides, therefore, farmers can use more of these chemicals to produce larger crops which ultimately means a higher return on investment.<\/li>\n
  2. Some scientists believe that this is a way to ensure a greater food supply and to alleviate hunger on a global scale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Problems With Using GMO\u2019s As It Stands Now<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \"\"Breeding plants with fish:\u00a0 this absolutely does not occur in nature and for some might even be unethical.<\/li>\n
    2. There\u2019s an assumption of safety rather than being tested and prove.<\/li>\n
    3. GMO\u2019s are highly unpredictable and untested: the FDA does not require the same level of human testing for GMO\u2019s as it does other things we ingest.<\/li>\n
    4. New allergens are formed<\/li>\n
    5. The long-term effects both to the environment and our bodies are two areas that are largely uncertain.<\/li>\n
    6. Food companies are not required by law to list whether an ingredient is a GMO.<\/li>\n
    7. The most recent study published came out of France found that feeding GMO corn over two years brought about massive tumors in rats (sorry if the use of rats upsets some of you but thought you\u2019d still want to know the information).<\/em>\u00a0 This has led to Russia putting a ban on all GMO-containing food products coming from Monsanto, a financially and politically powerful food production corporation, until their food safety researchers do a thorough investigation into the matter.<\/li>\n
    8. When a food is listed as NON-GMO, GM contamination is still possible due to natural pollen movement, weather events, seed contamination or human error.\u00a0 In fact, this makes the organic farmer\u2019s job that much more challenging should he find himself living next door to a GMO crop!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      How Does a Vegan Adhere To A GMO-free Diet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Buy only products that are USDA Organic certified<\/strong>:\u00a0 This means that the ingredients in a\u00a0 food product is at least 70% organic but 100% GMO-free.<\/li>\n
      2. Look for a NON-GMO labels<\/strong>: Many companies are now volunteering this information up front but you still have to look closely.\u00a0 Some will say \u201cMade without GMO\u2019s\u201d while others will only point out a particular at-risk ingredient such as soy lecithin.<\/li>\n
      3. Avoid At<\/strong>–Risk Ingredients: <\/strong>Some of the most common genetically engineered big four ingredients processed are corn, soy, canola and cotton.\u00a0 Additionally, GM sugar beet has entered the food supply, so only buy sweeteners that say they are organic or made with 100% cane sugar, evaporated cane juice or agave.<\/li>\n
      4. Eat More Whole Fruits and Vegetables and Less Processed, Packaged Foods<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      5. Know Your Brands<\/strong>:\u00a0 Fortunately, the Center for Food Safety made this way easier for all of us.\u00a0 In fact, there\u2019s even a iPhone and Android operating systems free application in case you want to know about a product while standing in front of an aisle of choices. \u00a0Just because they appear to be healthful and natural doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t contain GMO\u2019s. Meat and dairy alternatives are two of the biggest areas of concern for Vegans because they almost always contain soy.\u00a0 Below is some information extracted from the Center for Food Safety\u2019s True Food Shopper\u2019s Guide.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                You may have heard that in November California residents will vote for or against Proposition 37 which if passed means that companies would be required to list all GMO ingredients in their products if they want to do commerce in their state.\u00a0 Last October hundreds of people walked 313 miles from New York to Washington D.C. to make their voices heard in The Right To Know March and over 1.3 million people have already signed a petition to the FDA demanding truth in labeling practices. \u00a0These are huge steps towards ensuring our right to make an informed decision about what we\u2019re swallowing!\u00a0 If you\u2019re interested to get involved, then you\u2019ll find a link below to the FDA petition but also don\u2019t underestimate your purchasing power and only buy from reputable sources.<\/p>\n
