[QUOTE="Shari, post: 387681, member: 1848"] You're absolutely right about that. I don't get too worked up about it, because you're right, if you don't grow it yourself, you have NO idea where it came from or what's in it. I know a woman who is uber religious (in a cult-ish fashion) and its against her religion to eat mass produced foods. So she buys everything from a farmer's market in a major metropolitin area. Now, I don't know how things are where she is, but I know people who sell things at farmer's markets, here, and I know a HUGE chunk of them go to auctions and buy bulk produce, bring it home, throw it in the bed of the truck, and sell it as home grown. (Cgfg's mom is one of them). Uh, yeah...homegrown. Anyway, I digress. I don't try to stress about it, either, but I try to make changes where I can. I don't know why, tho, but the corn syrup study just hit me. The rats that ate the corn syrup water gained twice as much weight on the same amount of calories, and then to learn it was banned in other countries... I dunno. Just hit home for me. If there's an option of something with sugar, instead, that's the one I choose. And I'd venture a guess that somewhere down the road, we'll discover that all this genetically altered food DOES have an impact. Like you said, I bet everything does. [/QUOTE]
