The jury is not out on gmo corn. And the jury is not out on Monsanto. To say 'don't worry about it, it is already in 80% of your food' is an illogical argument. Europe has banned GMO. Here is an interesting article written August 6. http://www.takepart.com/article/2012/08/05/gmo-corn-too-strong-its-own-good?cmpid=tpfood-eml-2012-08-09-restaurants

I am still somewhat shocked that Food52 would be reporting an article about GMO corn and Walmart without doing a little more research.

I've been becoming more and more aware of the growing antipathy towards GMOs, and I have to admit, I just don't understand it. ALL food that is or was once living has genetic material in it! That includes yogurt and cheese (bacterial cultures), vegetables, fruits, bread and anything made from flour (flour comes from wheat, which is a plant, which has DNA), and certainly all meat and seafood. Don't forget beer and wine (both contain yeast)! So I cannot fathom how adding different genetic material makes one single iota of difference. Perhaps someone can enlighten me!
