this is a subject i'm very interested in - on both sides as a farmer and a consumer. ok i'm not a farmer but my dad is a conventional farmer. we raise grassfed beef and we don't really like dirt farming but it's a part of our life, kwim?

dad grows beans, lentils, wheat and canola mostly. I know that canola is mostly gmo and it kinda freaks me out about the herbicide resistance etc...but for the majority of crops grown in western canada, they aren't gmo. (Robin was right about differentiating between gmo and selective plant breeding - gmo is going inside the cells at a microscopic level and changin' things that shoulda-never-bin changed!) But corn IS mostly gmo.

Anyway. I don't know what I'm trying to say. I guess that (coming from a Traditional Foods Diet perspective) I agree with previous posters that said that corn isn't bad in itself, but the way it's being used is bad.

And () for more discussion.
