Changing my Ways?

For the past few weeks, our class has been learning a ton about genetically modified foods, the difference between organic and inorganic foods, corporate farming, and much much more on the subject. Have I learned a lot? Absolutely. I was completely unaware that it is near impossible to find food these days that hasn't been influenced in some way by genetic modification. In other words, you have to search hard for true organic food. I used to think that any fruit, vegetable, or meat had to be "all natural". How could it not be? Well, now I know better.

The real question is, after learning all I have learned, have I changed the way that I choose the food I eat? Honestly, no :( sorry! Being away at school, it is very hard to be picky about what you eat. I can't really go into a dining hall and ask if the chicken they are serving has been genetically modified, or how the chicken itself lived its life. Trying to feed thousands of students, you can bet they don't use the art of "slow cooking". Also, it seems more difficult to find foods that aren't genetically modified than it is to find foods that aren't. I think I need to sleep on this one a little longer. Maybe when I'm home for a longer period of time I'll pay more attention to this. Who knows, maybe the turkey I eat for Thanksgiving will even be organic!
