"GE organisms actually become part of the bacteria in our digestive tracts and reproduce continuously inside us. But the USDA now wants to to remove all controls from GE corn and cotton! A new Action Alert."
I don't see anything wrong with genetically modified food, just because it is modified. There has to be an exact reason why it is bad. What exactly has been modified genetically?
It would be very difficult to completely avoid corn in the US. Corn is in everything. Corn syrup is used as sweetener, corn is fed to our animals intended for consumption, just to name a couple.
I try to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup and usually limit my corn consumption to local sweet corn in season. I prefer my corn to be ground, malted, fermented, distilled and stored in oak barrels for 8 years or so. That should take care of the bacteria GE or not.

I'm allergic to corn so I've been boycotting it for 53 years Although not completely, that's too much trouble. I just live with the rash!
My husband is allergic to both corn AND soy! Not to say that he doesn't eat it anyway, but he does have to watch how much and what kind of corn & soy products he eats. HFCS, corn oil, soybean oil - bad. Fresh corn? Good.

What hasn't? It's not even all genes from plants, they splice genes from frogs and other animals into the plant cells to get the desired effects. Or so you HAVE to buy seed from them (mostly Monsanto for example) are pioneering termination seeds. That is, they grow once and then are sterile. WTF is going to happen when those cross-pollinate with nature?
Not to mention this is another one of those areas that regulates themselves, and riddled with $$ corruption protected by big biz and the gov't.
