Ah, I can see after printing off the guide that I will have to revise my shopping list a little bit, no matter, there are always substitutes, and if all else fails, I will just do without.
take care

by the way the word verification for this was phaliss (spelt wrong I know, but it made me smirk)
hehe. its a still moment with those word veri's sometimes. So pleased you found it useful.
I donwloaded the full pdf, and wow, thats a pretty extensive list. Thanks. Ive ordered a pocked guide. Its interesting that Coles generic brands are listed as OK, but the similar Woolworths brands are not.
Hey Kel, have you done any research on the possible dangers of GE foods? I do wonder if some of the concerns are a bit alarmist, as I was thinking that we do eat fruits from trees which are cultivars....hmmm maybe instead of asking you to do the research, i should do it myself! But if you know of any views on this that gives some compelling arguments that would be great!
Jen - take a look at the link in the post titled genetically engineered. its a site dedicated to GE and has some of the stats. Lots of allergy stuff, the guy that wrote seeds of deception used to be a scientist with monsanto.
I have included a link in the last sentence ,to common questions and answers about GE
Thanks for that Kel, it's eye opening reading...will peruse in in greater detail tomorrow.
My word veri is labvaglor...hmmm
Thanks Kel! I should have noticed the links. Doh!
