area that has a fairly wide array of organic foods. There is a healthy mix of large supermarkets and small, independent grocers that sell organic foods.

The argument of whether or not people should eat GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) or organic foods has been a debate for a long time. Organic food benefits health far more than genetically modified food that contains pesticides and animals that are raised on antibiotics growth hormones. Non-GMO foods are also safer for the environment in many ways: it conserves water, reduces soil erosion, increases soil fertility, reduces pollution, uses less energy, and does not affect the animals that live
Fork Over Knives is a movie about animal vs. plant based diets / food systems. In this film, the producers found that some degenerative diseases can be prevented by avoiding the typical American diet consisting of animal–based protein and processed foods. Dr. Campbell from Cornell University appears in the film as a nutritional scientist. Over 40 years ago he was focusing on producing animal protein of good quality to help malnourished people in the third world countries. However, he found out
system of plant and animal production having a site-specific application. (Gold) The sales of organics are at an all time high, but the concern is that consumers do not know the true facts behind organic farming. Oftentimes, organics are said to be sustainable and are better for the public than conventional farming, but that is not true. Organic farming is not sustainable.

difference between GMO seeds and organic seeds. In hindsight, this should have probably been written before the Monsanto series, however, it is never too late to discuss the half-truths, misinformation and outright lies coming mainly the Biotech industry. A growing number of people have already awakened to the truths about GMO's, yet, many still believe the propaganda coming from the industry and their spokesmen such as Dr. Oz ,who used to say he would never allow GMO foods on his dinner table.

Vegetarian VS. Meat Eater There are two main lifestyles that we as human beings practice that impact our eating habits. One being a Vegetarian, a person who chooses not to eat meat. The other being a Meat Eater (also known as an Omnivore), a person who chooses to eat both meat and vegetables. A controversial debate continues to go on, evaluating the pros and cons of each group, along with the reasons behind their choice. In the end it all depends on the individual’s outlook on life that makes the
GMOs are the Problem! When grocery shopping, we are faced with the question, “ Do we choose organic or the conventional products?” For some people, this may be an easy question depending on how much you want to spend, or if you choose organic products regardless of the price.
