However, it was recently that I discovered the very companies (Monsanto, General Mills, Kellogs, Pepsico, Coca Cola, Soyjoy, etc) I vowed to work against are the same companies that sponsor the organization (American Dietetic Association/eatright.org) in which i must traverse through to reach the first stage of my goal; becoming a registered dietitian. It is through this new understanding and deep animosity at such a blow to my passions that I have begun a new journey. One in which I will find new methods to gain credibility so that I can educate consumers about the true dangers of biotechnology and our food supply.
As I begin this new journey, I must admit I am no expert yet. There is a lot of information and research I must complete in my efforts to fully demonstrate the harm our food supply is causing us as consumers. With that in mind, I would like to begin my research with three basic topics; What are GMO's? What are the pro's and con's of utilizing and consuming these GMO food products? What are the alternatives to GMO products? Additionally I would also like to touch on the effect GMO food production has on the surrounding ecosystem we reside in today.
The importance of this topic stretches the large span of consumers. As humans, what we place into our bodies is directly connected to the overall health in which we experience on a day to day basis. It is extremely important to understand, much less even know, the harmful potential under tested chemical and biologically engineered products has on the fragile homeostasis our body needs to maintain. Simply put, consumers need to be educated on what they are eating and to be afforded a choice in what types of food they should eat.
