I like to think of San Diego, especially North County as a bit more "nutritionally evolved" then most of the nation. Maybe as a North County San Diego resident you know about GMOs and how incredibly rampant and dangerous they are. You may even know specifically why they are so dangerous and what numerous studies have shown the serious side effects to be. You may check the packaging of your food to be sure it is non gmo. However, even as you and I are doing this, there are corporations with billions of dollars on the line. They will do whatever they can to make it more difficult for us to know whether there are GMO's in the product. They make more money this way, plain and simple. These are corporations who have increased the amount of toxic pesticides used by copius amounts and have used viruses, bacteria, animals, and plants to create "food" that can produce an insecticide. 
The scary thing is, GMO's have been in our food supply for so long, it is virtually impossible to stop them now. Millions against Monsanto looks like an Occupy Wall Street movement by the media even though it is largely made up of intelligent and progressive professionals who see what is clearly happening. 
The risks of GMO's include allergies, antibiotic resistance, and cancer. The risk of cancer has increased quite a bit in the last decade and while there are many factors that need to be accounted for, the large amounts of toxins and unfamiliar genes could easily contribute to cellular defections. 
What I do not understand is why American's are not more pissed off? The rest of the world, much who we would consider "underdeveloped or primitive" has taken major steps to ban them, despite the hunger and nutritional issues facing their people. Just today, France aggressively pushed for an extended ban with most of Europe following suit. 
I invite you to get angry that your government is allowing such toxic things in our food supply (even if you don't eat processed foods, if you eat meat, chicken, or eggs that are not specifically fed non GMO feed, like grass fed beef or free range, unpasteurized, properly fed chickens, such as those raised from Coral Tree Farm in Encinitas, chances are your body is regularly exposed to them anyway. 
Contact your government or be involved and knowledgeable as to what foods contain GMO's. We need to push them to get out of the pockets of BIO FOOD. Obama signing the Farm bill pushing farmers who work hard providing healing and nourishing food and Hillary Clinton working hand in hand with Monsanto. Speak up o your health will speak up for you.
