We’ve all heard about the developments in genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) and how they may be able to solve future food and energy needs, but how safe are they really?  It’s difficult to make a fair evaluation at this early stage in the implementation of the program in farms and laboratories.  But if you would like to avoid produce that has been genetically modified by chemicals or special seeds, the best thing to do is buy from your local farmers’ market.  The family owned farms in your region do not introduce GMO’s like the corporate farms because they cannot produce on such a large scale and they are focused on preserving their land for future generations.  This video provides a time line around the issue and some basic information so you can form your opinion and probably value the local farms in your area even more. You probably won’t see such an honest presentation on your Dish cable programs!
