This is troubling: "In fact, products labeled “Non-GMO” like Whole Foods’ 365® Corn Flakes contained more than 50% genetically modified corn." I found it interesting when I searched on Whole Foods site today and found this Non-GMO Verified Products List http://wholefoodsmarket.com/specialdiets/MW_OAK_N… . The 365 Corn Flakes are not listed as non-GMO verified on Whole Foods site which was last updated on Jan 9, 2012.

I read about this issue on Cornucopia's site recently and stopped buying Barbara's shredded wheat, even though it is otherwise unadulterated in processing and great for an MSG sensitive person.

Trying to buy healthy food not contaminated with poison is a minefield. I seem to spend more and more time reading labels, though I think it's worth the effort. The government should do something useful for a change and subsidise organic produce, too many poor people are forced to consume toxin-laden 'food'.

Something else to consider is where the food was processed/grown. If fluoridated water is used they can still call the product organic because it isn't the growers/processors fault the water is contaminated. I just grow my own food because it just got to time consuming to look everything up to make sure I was getting what I actually wanted.
