I got a very sad "remember Live Journal" email the other day, which made me think to pop by here. My thoughts are a little too scattered to make a meaningful post because I am exhausted. But I'll do my best

I was geeking out a few weeks ago about GMOs (genetically modified organisms) because one of my friends and I got into a scientific debate about it. I'm okay with GMOs for the most part, but found that corn and soy are main crops that are GM; because of this, they carry a gene that makes them resistant to Roundup

I am extremely unconcerned about GMOs, but because most of the stuff that bothers to be dairy free, soy free, gluten free, etc. tends to also market to the organic and no-GMO crowd, that's basically how I'm eating right now. (I spend more time standing around in Whole Foods reading labels than I care to admit.) It's astonishing just how MUCH stuff we eat is made from corn and/or soy. I don't think most people would say that they eat a lot of either. But holy crap, they DO. Those two have been by far the most difficult to eliminate from my diet. I literally cannot eat out as long as I'm excluding them from my diet. I've looked at allergen menus for a ton of places. They usually don't even list corn on those. But most all of them had soy in every single dish
