<<What does genetically reengineered mean?  How are broccoli and tomatoes
reengineered?  Are you just talking about vegies at the grocery store or
organic ones too?>>

Hi Justin,

Genetic reengineering is done by splicing the genes of one species into
another.  Broccoli is a good example.  This is the norm in public
supermarkets.  In natural food stores there will be a label that will say
"non-GMO" or something like that (GMO= Genetically Modified Organism).

<<Corn and potatoes, as I recall, are considered to be grains and not
vegies. Most don't consider them paleo.  And according to Dr. Mercola, below
ground vegies shouldn't be eaten either, so I guess that makes carrots a
no-no.>>

I was using corn as another example of genetically reengineered food.

Here is a sight on genetically modified foods.
