Okay. So I'm a tad bummed.
I stick to a (mostly)* vegan diet. Which is great. I enjoy it. It keeps me in check. Forces me to check ingredients and watch what I eat. Hell, I feel great.
But I've been looking more and more at GMOs. I mean, come on. Call me a skeptic, but a corn that produces its own pesticide and the fact that most GMO proteins stay in your system left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
But hey. I'm a vegan right? I don't have to worry about that. Right?
Wrong. Especially when you look at the companies that poured money into defeating Proposition 37.
Which just bums me out. So, yeah. I don't know. What do YOU all think about GMOs and all this nonsense?
