@Rolf: You're likely not getting much GMO food at all if you're eating plant-based & no-oil & low-processed foods--so you're right--that would be the more important goal. The biggest sources of GMO foods are soy, corn, & soy & corn oil. I absolutely prefer to eat non-GMO soy, but, perhaps you aren't eating soy, either. There are enough red flags from researchers & farmers to make me take the extra step of avoiding GMO-soy.
Perhaps you didn't see my earlier post all about GMO's. You can read it here, if you haven't already--& definitely follow the link to the Mother Earth News article in April 2012. http://www.happyhealthylonglife.com/happy_healthy_long_life/2012/09/gmos.html It's hard to know if Genetic Roulette is a lot of hype--the producer had an agenda & bias, but I wouldn't discount it wholesale, either.
