These should always be avoided. GMO Crop means that the genetic code was enhanced in a lab with a DNA gene from another organism which is called gene transfer technology. For example, Soy and Corn crops are called GM Crops. Hawaiian papaya is a GE.

Hybrid are foods created with cross breeds of two of the same genes or between different species. These are highly addictive i.e.: tobacco contains GE hybrid. Produce such as Corn, Cantaloupe, Lemon, Rice, Wheat. Herbs include Spearmint, Peppermint. These hybrid foods are sprayed with toxic (harmful) chemicals. Pesticides will then end up in our bloodstream.

Heirloom is better tasting then hybrid foods but will bruise easily. Seeds are more expensive. With heirloom seeds you can purchase just one packet grow your own harvest and save back the seeds of the new produce to replant each year. Simply, any type of vegetable seed that was saved and grown for a period of years and is collected and saved open pollinated by the gardener is called heirloom.

If the label does not state “certified organic” it will have a GE origin. Tip: GMO’s are just about found in all packaged products including canola, corn, soybean, and cottonseed oil. Watch out for all of these GMO’s. Cotton that is not labeled 100% Organic is also a GMO.

Stick to foods highest in nutrients such as green vegetables, raw vegetables, legumes/beans, fruit, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and eggplant. We are the only country that mandatory GMO labeling of foods is not required. Several States have just started petitioning to ban GMOs on voting ballots.

If anything says may contain some GMO you should not be purchasing it. People around the world want to know that the food is safe. DNA altering in the foods we purchase should be illegal. Farmers and growers continue to do cross-hybrid foods like hearty wheat stock and corn.
