Danita said:Lyn, the bags of Golden Rose Brown Rice that I've seen have all been organic which means that they can't be GMO. There is a GMO rice called Golden Rice, but that's something different (and is the color of Kraft's Mac & Cheese!) From Wikipedia's page on GMO Golden Rice, "Not to be confused with "gold" varieties of African rice, which have golden-coloured seedcoats, not golden endosperm."
I hear you on the produce spoilage/wasting issue. I'm sure I look like a nut at the store trying to closely inspect the leaves inside the plastic container of organic spinach. Sometimes there are a few leaves already starting to rot at the store. And bananas! Geez, I could have built a bridge to the moon and back with rotten bananas by now.

However, even tho' the label is written in Spanish, I can tell there are more additives than I would now purchase for healthy eating, but I have used it to make salad dressings and such.
My great surprise this week was to discover how many grams of sugar were contained in good ol' Campbell's tomato soup. YIKES ! I am going to have to find a different brand ...
I am glad I am reading labels, now, but I am guessing I'll find more surprises like that one.
