Eating Our Weight in GMO's

This holiday season as you're snacking on cookies, cake, and candy do you know what else you're eating? According to a new Environmental Working Group (EWG) analysis of government data, Americans are eating their weight in genetically modified food every year.  EWG calculates that people eat an average of 193 pounds of genetically modified food over a 12 month period. That's more than the typical U.S. Adult weight of 179 pounds. The analysis is the first estimate of dietary intake of GMOs in the American population.  Source: Acres USA December, 2012
