I agree with the heavy handedness. I have less fear of GMO products.

What about genes being more robust when not tampered with? GMO interferes with diversity. Natural plants handle drought, fungus invasions and insects much better than a plant altered and having reduced genetic diversity.

They also haven't proven to be safe. Studies have shown that rats ingesting GMO products clearly show organ deterioration.

Chronic disease is on the rise, because everything begins in the gut.

I am an enabler. I'm making Alfredo Chicken Pizza for dinner. I had yogurt and blueberries this morning, so I can have this bread today. Organic, unbleached flour.

The only problem is you have to stand in one spot for, at least, 15 minutes stirring the sauce. It's a rather claustrophobic experience and one reason I rarely make pudding/meringue pies.

On my second cup of coffee today.
