Following on from yesterday's blog entry concerning the dangers of eating genetically engineered foods (a.k.a. GMOs), here are a few helpful tips to help you avoid eating them whilst out dining in restaurants.

When looking for non-GMO while eating out, the first question usually is: What oil do they cook with? Many restaurants use GM vegetable oils. But they may also have olive oil available for salads, etc. However, make sure that their olive oil is not blended with canola oil. This is done often and sometimes even the waiters and servers do not know. The kitchen does.

Depending on the dish, some restaurants can switch cooking oils just for your meal—using olive oil instead of their normal vegetable oil. It is not likely, however, that they will do this for deep fried dishes. Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern restaurants and many fine dining establishments tend to use olive oil anyway. It is usually easiest to phone ahead and speak to a cook.

Do not be afraid to ask the waiter or have them go and ask the chef for the answers to your questions. Remember, it is your health and you are the one who is paying the price for what you eat. If enough people speak up and demand higher and safer quality in the foods they are putting in their body, food manufacturers will and restaurants will be forced to sit up and pay attention and to make the necessary changes required. Never underestimate the power of your wallet to make your point or to cast your vote.

Health be with you.
Bon appetit!

Please read the evidence amassed in the book Seeds of Deception by Jeffrey M. Smith. The meticulously documented facts leave no doubt about a massive injustice. The topic is too important to put this off until tomorrow.
