I watched a video recently where someone expressed shock and horror that Campbell's soup is putting (gasp) genetically engineered organisms into its cans of soup!
Oh no the travesty!
Alright, back to seriousness.
POINT 1: "Genetically modified" "genetically engineered" etc are meaningless terms. Humans have been tinkering with breeding and such since the before history. It's how we got our crops and animals we can't live without anymore. A better question is to ask what they mean when they say "genetically modified". You NEED to understand what THEY mean by this so you can distinguish what they are doing vs. what humanity has been doing since forever. IT IS IMPORTANT.
POINT 2: Once you understand WHAT they are doing, you need to know WHY they are doing. To wit: The vast majority of genetic engineering is geared towards making crops that can survive lethal chemicals that literally kill the earth and make it barren. This is modern farming: (1) KILL EVERYTHING. (2) Plant a GMO crop. (3) Spray with even more chemicals (4) wonder where all the profit margin went as the farm equipment companies, chemical companies and the seed companies laugh all the way to the bank.
POINT 3: The REAL reason why GMO is dangerous is not because of the G, M or O. It's because of what they do with GMO crops and such. It's dangerous because they practically bathe these plants and seeds in chemicals and then they feed these chemicals to you. Chemicals that either existed in tiny amounts inside of tiny bacteria or were invented by mankind and never seen before by the world. Chemicals that we barely understand how they work, or all too often, understand that they are extremely dangerous in more ways than one but try to hide the danger from the public.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED. They want you talking about the genetic modifications. They do NOT want you talking about how they are literally destroying our farmland thousands of acres at a time, turning productive, LIVING soil into DEAD DIRT. They do NOT want you talking about how their chemicals are poisoning us, our kids, and the planet.
SOLUTION: STOP BUYING YOUR FOOD FROM THE STORES. Go direct to farmers who either completely stop using chemicals or who are using a minimal amount. A good start is to research "Regenerative Agriculture" and see what people are doing there. Once you find a farm that is doing that sort of thing, you need to buy your food direct from them.
Now, I know that they are charging a premium and I know that delivery is more than half the cost. If you're lucky you'll find someone close to you that isn't charging an arm and a leg. It requires you to do the searching, of course. And you'll have to verify for yourself with farm tours and such.
YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO FIND A SOLUTION IN THE SUPERMARKET. YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO FIND A NATIONAL BRAND THAT IS HONEST. Just get settled with this fact and go say "hi" to local farmers.
It wasn't so long ago that people were spending a significant portion of their income on groceries and such. We got used to cheap food that is instantly available. We have to wean ourselves off of this lifestyle. You are going to have to spend more of your paycheck on food and that means you are going to have to make cuts elsewhere for it.
Oh no the travesty!

And if your market specifically advertises they source meat from local farmers, am I to expect they're lying?
I don't agree with the notion that supermarkets are the lynchpin for blame here.
> You are going to have to spend more of your paycheck on food and that means you are going to have to make cuts elsewhere for it.
LMAO! How much more!? Everyone is already scrambling by and you want them to pay more for their already record high groceries?
How about we just get rid of the jews? Keep naming, keep pushing, keep advocating.
See, without the 33 billion sent to pissrael, our groceries would be as cheap as in the 70's. Likewise, our pay would go up and the dollar would instantly jump in strength again.
And also likewise, gay jewish poison wouldn't be allowed near our food. We go back to crop rotation and soil seeding like how our ancestors did it.
I get what you're trying to say, and I agree with the notion of community building by engaging with your local producers. I also get the gist that you're trying to champion ideas that our under our control, that we can touch with our own two hands.
I just disagree about the target vector.
YES
You can't even trust the farmers, really. You need to do your own homework.
> Everyone is already scrambling by and you want them to pay more for their already record high groceries?
YES
You should be spending a lot more of your paycheck on food. Housing costs have risen in large part because people have more money available for housing. Entertainment costs as well. People are spending more money on those things because they are spending less money on food.
> How about we just get rid of the jews?
Go back in history, and remember that we were most active in getting rid of the jews when they get exposed for poisoning our food supply. THIS IS WHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT. You need to understand HOW they are poisoning us so that you can convince people.
> We go back to crop rotation and soil seeding like how our ancestors did it.
Not just that. It wasn't so long ago that you would go to your local grocer and they would be stocked almost entirely with locally grown foods. There were some things that were imported -- spices, rare ingredients, etc -- but the vast majority of the food was grown by your neighbors.
Go back before that and you would show up on market day in the town square where all the local farmers would sell their goods. If you needed something in between, or in bulk, you could contact the farmers yourself to make arrangements for pick up or delivery.
The supermarket is an anomaly and needs to be destroyed if we are going to get back to sanity. The cost savings are not worth it.
