This is one of the things that so few people know about. Today who eats real food in developed countries anymore? Maybe 2%? People instead fill their bodies with Hormonal food products, MSGs, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, food colorings, prescription drugs, mercury filled vaccines and sodium fluoride just to name a few. The problem is that people do not realize that these things are shutting down our body hence they are shutting down our brain.
I am not perfect but I try my hardest to eat only real whole non-GMO foods, I never take prescriptions or vaccines and I own quality fluoride water filtration systems. I will tell you, I went many years ignorant to what I was doing to my body and compared to how I feel today living a natural lifestyle the way god intended for humans to survive, back then I was incompetent and sloth.
Seriously this subject is one of the most important things that one can study to truly improve their life on an unimaginable level!

Could you tell me some more about GMO foods? Like, what does GMO stand for? And where do you buy GMO foods? What kind of foods are GMO? ect. I've been interested in becoming more natural, with the exception of a few things, like protein shakes, creatine shakes, and multivitamins. But I don't know anything about it.

If you're meaning GM (Genetically Modified) foods, then it's highly unlikely you know you're eating them. GM foods do not have to be labelled, and many foods nowadays are all genetically modified, such as tomatoes. All tomatoes are modified as the skin of them is much more likely to break without.

Preservatives, additives = potentially bad
Hormones = bad
Mercury filled vaccines = most vaccines in the US have stopped including thimerosal as a preservative, and it's really a trace amount of mercury in any case. You're getting more Hg by eating fish. Not receiving vaccines is not only a health hazard for you but also for the general population.
GMO = not a problem from a health standpoint.

Lol your just like me. I am natural, however I still drink protein shakes and take multivitamins. GMO mean genetically modified organics.

Well some providers make it clear that they are not GMO and I can taste the difference. But yeah, even if you try your hardest, it is impossible to get it right all the time when choosing the food to eat.

People who take vaccines are taking a medical experiment. If you trust them, then do so at your own risk but I never like seeing developing children taking them.

GMO = Genetically-modified organism. In most cases, you're simply talking about a plant that has had a gene from another plant or microbe inserted into it's genome and that transferred gene protects the modified organism against disease, pests, or herbicides. Genes are shuffled around naturally all the time - mostly in an unpredictable manner. This is just an intentional transfer of a gene with a known function. While there could be unintended ecological consequences to these modified organisms being released into the wild, the hysteria about them being unhealthy for you to consume has no real scientific basis.

Making up facts to prove a point? Because I can find countless studies that disagree with you. I will tell you why you say there is no harm. Because the FDA (the same FDA that approves baby formula that is composed of 50% high fructose corn syrup, its actually pretty sad because the developing infants have no choice) says so. Problem is that the FDA is lobbied like none other. But of course it doesn't matter what private studies say, if the the government says its good then it is good.
An other problem with GMO is the damage that it is doing to our ecosystem.
Do you really want to eat crops that have to be injected with fish genes just so it can survive a mega pesticide that would kill any other no GMO plant? Yum Healthy :roll: . But I know, only idiot CTs would choose to eat real food... lol.

This.
At my Uni, a group of about 6 of us (all studying to be Biology teachers) had a debate on GM foods. Eventually we came to the conclusion that the pros and cons pretty much even up. The main pros is that you can get bigger crops that are less likely to die, important in places like Africa. The cons are the possibility of a few food companies dominating the world food market (extremely bad), the unknown effects of GM foods on the human body, the fact that the crops die after a year rather than being able to produce a second yield, making poorer countries dependent on rich ones (something that we've been trying to change for years), the moral implications (GM foods are
never
labelled, you could buy "organic" tomatoes that are genetically modified, no-one truly knows how much GM foods they are eating. Some religions have strict rules on foods, I doubt the followers of those religions would appreciate GM foods) and another point was that they could cause diseases in humans to become resistant to medicine due to the way they the foods are made resistant to all the viruses they can face.
100 points to anyone who can guess whether I was on the For or Against side in the debate

Not this again... you were doing so well real.
Archean, you shall have my support if you enter battle, but I would advise against it; it becomes repetitive.

And I assume you have great knowledge on this subject or you're just taking sides for no reason at all?

Monsanto, the agro-giant behind this foolery is one of the most manipulative repugnant corporations the world has ever known... The creators of Agent Orange, RoundUp, recombinant Bovine growth hormone, PCBs, on and on.

Have a look at this if you're interested in the evils of the company. They refuse to label GMOs because their scientists have done studies and know the implications of eating such gm-food you see. They're paid 10's of millions of dollars to keep their mouth locked tight.
This is one of the more well-known studies concerning GMO-Potatotes.
Code:
http://www.ask-force.org/web/Pusztai/Fedoroff-The_Pusztai_affair-1.pdf
The research results showed that both "normal" Russet Burbank potatoes and the GM variety caused "serious morphological changes in the internal organs" of the animals in the trials. They also showed that the group of animals fed on the GM potatoes suffered greater weight loss than the other animals, and statistically significantly greater damage to kidneys, liver and large gut. There was also greater damage to blood serum, testes and prostate. Dr Ermakova concluded: "The GM potatoes were the most dangerous of the feeds used in the trials........ and on the basis of this evidence they
CANNOT be used in the nourishment of people."

Suppressing valuable pertinent knowledge for the consumer (up to 10 years or more)? You want the supplier of everything you eat withholding this day in/ day out? Not for me.
I'm happy to come from a farming tradition and I've been farming intensively on small acreage growing all the food I need. I grow a surplus and share with the community.
Know your farmers people. Know where your food comes from and take advantage of farming tours. Resist the want to head to the grocery store and support these agri-giants.
Boost your local economies and keep it close to home.
I highly suggest sourcing local, nourishing food. Great site here.

The idea is.. They're sick BECAUSE they've been ingesting these chemicals, addictives and genetically-modified splices for so long...
There's this idea that the food system is set up for that explicit purpose. The food wears on the system causing the countries citizens
to have to head to doctors and then phramacies more often.. filling their pockets full of loot. It's a cyclical thing.
It's not too far-fetched.
