Genetically engineered/modified foods in city daycares: the canola oil used for cooking. Parent Andreea Ionescu called the company and confirmed. Also according to the Greenpeace shoppers guide on avoiding GMO food, some of the cereal and cookies served also contain gmo: Dare/KRAFT cookies, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Crispix, and probably other foods as well.

Another important statistic from Greenpeace is that from 1996 up to the present, about 70% of processed food in Canada contains some GM ingredients.

Children today are exposed to a type of experimental food tempering that no generation before has experienced.

We are not blaming the City of Toronto for serving GMO food as there is no labelling for such foods. A “progressive stance” in this case, would be requiring food suppliers to go back to the “old fashioned” food that Nature wanted us to eat, that has not been UNnaturally genetically engineered by corporations.
