New Polls about genetically modified ingredients and organic foods
My choices were that Organic foods were not really important to me, and I didn't really care about genetically modified ingredients in my food. Is that bad? Maybe. I think my lack of caring about GMI in my foods is due to ignorance on my part, and I will fix that in the near future. As for organic foods, I am not a proponent. I am just not convinced that organic foods are better for me. However, I would like to purchase more local farm grown products, just because I would basically like it to come out of the ground and into my hands. This is what I was used to growing up ... but that is not the same as organically grown, since local farmers can use pesticides etc. * A little reminder: Current and past polls can always be found on the Voting Booth page [link].

I also voted that I don't care about GM foods, probably due to the same ignorance you mention. I voted that I don't really care about organic, although I do think organic produce is better for you. I just can't justify spending any more than I already do on fruit (at least $20/week). Working in the food industry, I'm not that impressed with organic. We just got certified organic and basically we just use less harsh chemicals, shut off a chemical from our boiler and we can't spray for bugs anymore. I don't see how those things automatically equal "better for you."
