Genetically modified foods produced by genetic engineering have been available since the 1990s. The principal GM foods derived from plants are soybean, maize, canola, cocoa beans, and cotton seed oil.

Very interesting. Who knew?
Are you eating Genetically Modified Foods? Do you know how to tell? I recently found out that you can easily tell whether the produce you purchase at the grocery store is a GMO just buy looking at the PLU (price look up) code.

I wonder if I am eating any genetically modified (GM) foods? I don’t really know, even though I read food labels carefully. And how could I know, when there is no effective enforcement of the legal requirement for food manufacturers in Australia to label their foods as having been genetically modified?
