They are delicious though and totally worth it. I stopped buying regular crackers a few months ago bc of the preservatives.

The next step is growing veggies as much as we can in our too small space and supplementing with the farmer's market. <BR/><BR/>Jeff and I have heated discussions about GMO vs. pesticide use, etc. He's a scientist, so he sees the potential benefits of GMOs and thinks they were introduced poorly, but aren't inherently bad. For me, biodiversity is the most important thing, and that we agree on. Regardless, you've hit on a hot topic in this household!Sarah Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941293181037171899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-55573331665617207662009-03-04T07:29:00.000-08:002009-03-04T07:29:00.000-08:00Love those little bags!

I'm not only about to re-read it, but I think it's a good after dinner read for the whole family. <BR/><BR/>I literally had nightmares about genetically engineered foods. The first thing I did was to banish Canola. We've been Canola free for almost a year now.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see your insights, and I'll be sharing mine more as well. Hey!

I, too, am subject to inspiration overload. In fact, I was talking to someone today about how I have a tendency to "chase rabbits into field after interesting field" without getting much done.

There aren't many foods that require water-proof material to keep the crumbs from building up in the bottom of the diaper bag or purse! lol Yours are darling. I'm with you, in that our food is probably more dangerous than the plastic, though. The plastic will eventually stop giving off whatever it has to give off, whereas the GE food we keep eating is a fresh batch every day! lol I'm looking forward to your thoughts on our food's safety.
