For everyone saying E15 is a mandate please look at the picture. This is a typical pump offering E15. It's just another choice made available to you by the American corn grower.

Until you stand at a stop light on a busy city intersection waiting for the light to change, you don't know what a problem thus is. Most people in the US work in cities and have to cross at least one major street to get into work. The auto emissions at those stoplights on a humid July morning will choke you.

“Non-GMO” has become one of the most successful marketing labels in the grocery store.

Not because it makes food safer... but because it makes people feel like it does.

Let's talk about what a GMO actually is - because a lot of people have been taught to fear a science term they don't even understand.

GMO stands for genetically modified organism. In farming, that means a plant has been modified to handle things like insects, disease & Weather conditions, better.

That's it.

Farmers aren't growing mutant food in some under ground lab. We're growing crops that can survive bugs, weeds, dry weather, rising costs, and completely unpredictable seasons.

But somewhere along the way, "GMO" got twisted into something scary - and "Non-GMO" got turned into a gold star.

Here’s a handful of GMO crops commonly grown in the United States:
• Cotton
• Soybeans
• Corn

So when you see things like "Non-GMO" water... or salt... or products that never had a GMO version to begin with...

That's not transparency.

That's marketing. PERIOD.

Meanwhile, most livestock are fed GMO corn and soybeans - because they're efficient, reliable, and help farmers produce more with less land, less fuel, and fewer losses to things that are preventable.

You don't have to like GMOs.

But you should at least understand what you're being told to be afraid of.

There is a reason Louis Pasteur is famous. This article mentions the most common diseases but misses a big one. Tuberculosis which is called Bangs in cattle can be transmitted through raw milk.

Our registered dietitian explains why drinking unpasteurized raw milk raises concerns.

For anyone worried about your car with E15, this is what the new law would do, which is probably not what you have heard.

The House passed a year-round E15 bill, boosting ethanol demand while raising concerns for soybean and biodiesel groups as it heads to the Senate.
