If the old saying is true that we are what we eat, Americans may want to sit up and take notice: the Center for Food Safety has estimated that up to 75% of processed foods on grocery store shelves contain genetically engineered ingredients. Even the most health-conscious individuals have likely been unable to avoid consuming genetically modified foods, especially since food distributors are not required by law to label them.

This is a lot to digest (so to speak), but we are confident you will emerge a more alert consumer. To watch the rest, check out our full episode at http://yournetwork.tv/episode_gmo.php
