Default GMO free too

We've been very careful to avoid GMO products. We eat only organic meats and stay a way from most processed foods. Unless we go out to dinner though. We've been doing this for at least 10 years. I can't say there's been a profound response but even before we paid attention to GMO, our diets were pretty clean. Most processed foods have GMO soy, corn and canola oils in them and a daily diet of these is just not healthy.

I feel that GMO crops are problematic on so many levels. The entire "processed food" industry is focused on producing cheap, addictive foods for profits. Even if you are healthy today, I would encourage everyone to reduce or eliminate the consumption of GMO food just for the sake of the environment alone. GMO foods allow farmers to use more pesticides than ever before. Without a strong, healthy environment, all life suffers.
