Sharon - Associate of Wellness Bodies @ Whole Foods
What is your stance on GMO foods in our supermarkets? She had no issue with GM foods in supermarkets but thinks that consumers should have the knowledge that their food is not contaminated with crops of a GM origin. She said that since she works at Whole Foods she knows that none of their products are sourced from GM crops so this is not a concern to her. But that families that cannot afford Whole Foods should have the choice like her in places like King Soopers to "vote with their wallet" as she put it.
Do you think they should be labeled separately from non-GMO products? She does think so. It's only fair to the shopper that they have the choice of ingesting GM food into their bodies. She said that scientists have not proven the fact that GM foods are just as safe as their regular counterparts.
Do you think processed foods should also be labeled? This is always a point of contention when brought up, she says. She said she knows that processed foods usually have no difference from their non GM counterpart. But that a consumer should be given a choice if they want to support GM food or not. Just because someone can't tell the difference in processed food doesn't mean they should have to indirectly support them.
