Sticking it to the man

I think I have decided that I wanna go in a different direction for my project and it is investigating the food our school feeds us. I'm not sure if this is a good idea yet, trying to go against the district might be a  Terrible idea but I don't know I think it will prevent me from graduating so I'm gonna go for it. 

Good news!

DRISCOLLS FRUIT PRODUCTS ARENT GMO!!!!!! I am obviously very excited because they are the largest supplier of berries in the world and knowing they're non gmo helps restore some faith in food companies. 

Strawbizzles

Last week I was eating Discrolls brand strawberries. Driscrolls produces all kinds of fruit like blueberries and raspberries. While I was eating them I wondered if they were GMO and what kind of pesticides they spray on the produce. On the box they make it really easy to contact them. I went to their website and I sent them an email asking those questions and thanking them for making it so easy to contact them. I hope I will get a response soon. 

Survey Said

 Actually surveys aren't done being filled out yet...I have handed out a good amount and two of my friends have been helping me hand them out as well because they have different study halls with other people. I would say that over half of them are filled out. Going over them has been really interesting because of the shocking amounts of people who do not care about eating organically. What also has shocked me is the answer to the last question. the last question asks if food companies are putting other "stuff" in our food do we have the right to know. Most people answer "yes we should know" or "its illegal for food companies to leave things off the labels". I am going to look into this more because I am sure that there are some laws to tell us what is in our food but I am also sure that the large companies have found a way to avoid these laws. I am also thinking that GMO wasn't even real when this law was made.
