DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr this is such an important discussion, because a lot of 'small businesses' in America are actually franchises - where the independent business owner absorbs all risk. As someone who grew up in a small business household, I can understand where these franchises are coming from - owners are barely making ends meet. I'm not sure what the solution is, but I know the person running 1-2 subways is not taking home big bonuses like the Subway executives. -

Riki I suspect there are some harmless GMOs, and harmful GMO food products.
My hunch is that Monsanto GMO corn with embedded pesticides is not great for human health.

DietID_TeamDietitians Totally agree @riki it's shocking how much of the developed world has banned GMOs
