Has anyone else experimented with Switching from GMOs to Organic Food?
Hi,
I'm really curious about others' experience.
I didn't know about GMOs until I watched a film called Forks Over Knives, which for some reason I'd thought was going to be a murder mystery. Well, maybe it was... but not the run of the mill kind.
After watching that I tweeted about it and was told to watch Food, Inc. Then after that Genetic Roulette came out.
I was really curious to see if merely switching from GMOs to Organic food would cause me to lose weight, as had been suggested in one or more of the films.
It was easy to order Organic, Free Range Chicken Soup, to replace Campbell's, and Organic pasta... Italian in origin... But replacing my coffee creamer was a real challenge. It took months to mix up a powdered replacement that allowed me to desire a cup of coffee, as I had always done in the past.
At about the same time, I'd learned that all vitamin B12 comes from micro-organisms, which are plentiful in the air and soil. I decided that when I ate celery and lettuce out of my garden, I'd just eat them... no washing, so I'd get the micro-organisms.
See, one of the impetuses to switching was thinking about how the pesticide engineered into the GMOs was probably killing off micro-organisms before I got their B12 content.
So, I was delighted when I found I could use a fraction of the sublingual methylcobalamin as previously, and have no added symptoms of low vitamin B12. BIG savings. Easily paid for any additional cost in my food budget.
And... over a few months I lost two sizes... SO easy. No exercise involved, other than reaching for Organics...
Happiness!
I'm curious to hear what others have experienced.
