Absolutely no canola oil. I keep up on what’s gmo and what’s not. I cook from scratch, only use packaged pasta and organic oatmeal, otherwise zero processed foods. Zero fast foods. Walking the walk. It can’t hurt, but not walking it might. Eat meat only on weekends, buy the best from local butcher who guarantees no-feedlot local cattle. And hogs. And lamb. And buffalo. Would rather pay for a small quantity of excellent meat than a lot of questionable stuff.

In general, you get much better quality and flavor from organics than from conventionally grown produce. Try the raspberry test...a fresh organic berry tastes about a thousand times better than the “regular” one. Worth a buck more.

I’m on a limited budget...so I know you can do it. Fast foods are so much more expensive than uncooked organic stuff. I buy great stuff on sale, when possible, and perhaps eat a little less overall. Great for the figure :) I really don’t like to cook, so do it really quickly. Stir fry, steam, crockpot soups. Very little effort.

Fellow at local nursery explained the difference between hybrids, which are OK with me, and genetically modified plants, which are not.

No canola oil. No soy of any kind. No corn of any kind that isn’t labeled ‘organic’. No ‘sugar’ that isn’t ‘cane sugar’.

I cook everything from scratch using olive oil or coconut oil. We’ve planted enough acreage in old fashioned dent/flint corn this year to feed my chickens non-GMO as well. We’re growing sorghum for sweetening along with some stevia. The millet and amaranth get planted first part of next week.

I have a terminal degree in a hard science and did R&D for years. I do NOT trust GMO.

I’m even more suspicious when I find that the biggest population control wackjobs (gates, buffet, soros) are major stockholders of Monsanto and associated corporations. I’m sure it’s only because they want all seven billion of Earth’s inhabitants to be healthy and fertile and long lived. Right?
