A very good read - https://www.chicagotribune.com/health/ct-met-gmo-food-labeling--20110524,0,5841902.story

It doesn't say anything about food allergies but a whole lot about the food we eat from stores we mainly trust for our FA kids, like whole foods.

I am convinced that when food started containing GMO's is when the big problem of Food Allergies began.  I live on Bocca burgers and ate 2 every day during my pregnancy with DS1 b/c i don't eat meat.  I just read that bocca burgers contain GMO -awesome!  I guess last nights bocca burger was my last

 

DS: milk, soy, egg, peanut
outgrew: sesame (yay)

I hate GMO's.  My ds can't have them as he's very, very chemically sensitive after his vaccine reaction.  We are hopeful that as he heals he'll outgrow some of those sensitivities but for now we are avoiding GMO's as much as we possibly can.  It is incredibly difficult without proper labeling.  I firmly believe they don't want to label them bc then a good number of people wouldn't buy them.  Lots of people believe they've never eaten a GMO and chances are, they are at every single meal and probably more than 1.  This is a huge reason we eliminated corn and soy from our house.  Don't get me started on GMO alfalfa and what that will do to the food supply.  Whole Foods sells a LOT of GMO products, many in their 365 line and I think it is probably going to get pretty ugly before they do anything about it or agree to labeling.  They did push for the GMO free labeling but that was months ago and they are just now starting to pop up.  We don't buy a lot of packaged foods but now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing that new label on their 365 product line but I could be wrong.

GMOs are so scary to me, i try not to think about them because it really freaks me out. I wish they would get to labeling things so people know what they are buying!
