There is non-GMO soy milk. Here's a story:
Dean Foods is the maker of Silk, the soy milk et al company. They switched to GMO soy. The customers did not like that one bit! So they stopped buying Silk. There are a few other non-/Organic brands on the market. I am sure they went elsewhere for their soy milk.

Well, it was enough to affect the Silk Soymilk market. That made Dean Food rethink their decision and bring back non-GMO soy in their product. Score one for the Consumer!

I was very, very surprised at all the organic/non- GMO items I was able to find yesterday. It didn't used to be like that. I have a limited choice at my once store, but the choice IS there! I am almost proud enough of Walmart, I think I will shoot off a complimentary letter.

Truth be told, I don't live in a very Green area. Most people don't even use their Recycle bins! We are heavy with fast food chains and all you can eat places. Consumers here seem to be more interested in more bang for their hard earned buck than healthy eating. Let's face it. Eating organic is going to cost me more. But I am willing to spend it while most are not. I think if more people bough organic products, there would be a call for them. And like Dean Foods, seeing they are losing out, perhaps companies will start offering an organic alternative? Like Tostitos. One can only hope!
