It is interesting. I live in farm country where many many acres of soybeans are grown. I love edaname( even tho I can’t spell it). I try to grow a row every yr in my garden. I have a terrible time with rabbits eating the plants continually so I never get any. I found out that even tho the fields of commercial soybeans are all around me the rabbits don’t like those fields. Why you are asking– I was told it is because those soybeans have been treated and the rabbits are smart enough to leave them alone

Hi Lori -
The only way to avoid herbicides such as Roundup, and genetically modified foods (soy and corn – both of which are about 85-90% GM in this country, as well as cotton and canola) is to buy Organic. When purchasing at the grocery store, Organic is your only safety at this point. Nearly all processed foods contain corn and/or soy in some form. I strongly recommend a book called “The Fatal Harvest Reader” (edited by CFS’s own Andrew Kimbrell) to learn more about this. There is an excellent essay titled “Untested, Unlabeled, and You’re Eating It” by Joseph Mendelson III about GMOs, and why you are right to be concerned.
Best,
Lindsay

I would like to learn more about Roundup Ready 2 Yeild. I love soybeans and soymilk but I am now getting concerned about my consumption. How do I find what products I consume that are treated with Roundup Ready 2. I am against roundup products and the possible effects it has on my dog, my family and friends, not to mention the whole population. I would appreciate any information.
Thank you
Lori
