Most GMOs are safe, with the possible exception of those that produce their own insecticide, and overspraying of herbicides on crops GMO'd to be more herbicide-resistant.

I don't trust any of the GMO vendors.

You know what, that's totally fair. I also do not trust them. I suppose I tend to assume the capacity for deception on this scale is rather limited.

So you grow your own food from identity preserved seeds sourced from a vendor that has no association with GMOs?

If you buy commercial products, the non-GMO seeds are unquestionably being sourced from the very same GMO vendors, and thus can't be trusted either.

I grow some of my own food (salads, zucchini, Hokkaido, potatoes, etc) in my garden but it's nowhere near self-sufficiency. All of my seeds as well as my garden are completely GMO free. I've been growing the last few seasons by solely relying on my own seeds though.
