Continuing from a recent post, I am continuing to be completely surprised by the prevalence of soy in so many foods! I’m on vacation with family, and what’s a MommyFrog who’s not supposed to eat soy or dairy supposed to do when the entire family is (unknowingly) chowing down on soy. Just today I found soy in (good-quality) hotdogs, hot dog buns, ketchup, and mustard, and shortening. I already knew there was soy in most chocolate and mayonnaise, as well as many breakfast cereals, and breads. And, <drum roll> Cheetos! My brother has now proclaimed Cheetos a health food, since we all know soy is healthy, right? But don’t forget that according to GMO-compass, 91 % of the current soy planted in the US is genetically modified.
So check your labels, and realize that unless you’re eating organic food, the chances are that anything that has soy on the label probably has genetically modified soy in it. Did you know you were eating so many genetically-modified foods? What’s the harm with genetically modified foods? Stay tuned for more on this from MommyFrog…
