The natural choice

Many people choose to buy organic when possible, especially for soy products that are most likely genetically modified if they’re not organic. 

Genetically modified (GM) foods are possibly harmless for our health, and our history of eating this kind of food is relatively short, so it’s a gamble to eat lots of it. 

Another issue with GM foods is that these crops are threatening the natural diversity of original seeds. Farmers worldwide have reacted with despair at the dependency on global seed manufacturers who restrict the varieties of plants grown for food to a few favoured for their reliability, not quality.

Genetically modified foods are not the standard everywhere, of course, and several countries have placed restrictions on GM crops to protect the environment. Supporting small scale, organic farming is a good thing.
