GMO ~ What is THAT?!

A little bit of clarity on hybrid versus GMO seeds.

Okay, so I attempted to write a blog about GMOs. It was a blabbering mess, really! Then, a friend sent me this link. So, I think I will just copy it, since someone already wrote about it!

Read the article here. 

I believe that this is a very confusing topic to many people because the verbiage is so intermingled. Natural. Hybrid. Synthetic. Homeopathic. Heritage. Organic. Non-GMO. GMO.

If you don't know, GMO = genetically modified organism. There is a lot of controversy about food producers having to label their products as using GMO items. Many food producers will label if they use non-GMO ingredients, which is a huge selling point for many people who do not want food that has been altered at the gene level.

I hope this help understand at least a bit of the confusion!
