Our DNA was designed masterfully by our Creator

As a Christian, I feel we have an obligation to respect God's ordained order of nature and natural selection and avoid eating foods derived from Genetically Modified Organisms. The amazing DNA of life was created by God. Man should not be playing as he were God.  From my own personal experiences working in the industry for many years and speaking to scientists, researchers, government leaders, NGOs, farmers, consumers, and doctors, I know there is more publicly available research needed on this topic.  Local governments around the world are starting to declare non-GMO zones for a reason, and it is not just because of the environmental damage.  Here are some decisions you can make today to start eating with a moral and ethical conviction:
  • Eat organic food as much as possible.
  • Read labels on EVERYTHING in the store. GMOs are in just about everything from grain to yeasts to enzyme additives.
  • Research and compile a list of companies that produce natural products without GMOs. When shopping, search out these manufacturers on the store shelves.
  • Eat unprocessed foods as much as possible. I know this is difficult for busy families. Try using Sunday afternoons to prepare meals ahead of time; it is great family time together.  
  • Start baking your own breads and buns.  I have an electric bread maker, which speeds up the process considerably and it is so easy. When looking for bread maker yeast, be sure it is NON- GMO.
Here is a list of good reads to consider in your quest for more knowledge on this topic:
  • Seeds of Deception by Jeffrey M. Smith.
  • The Makers Diet by Jordan Rubin
  • Romans 14. 
  • Leviticus 5, 7, 10, and 11
  • Judges 13:4
  • Judges 13:7
