I want to correct some misinformation... Canola isn't GMO.

'In 1974, rapeseed varieties with a low erucic content were introduced. Scientists had found a way to replace almost all of rapeseed’s erucic acid with oleic acid, a type of monounsaturated fatty acid. (This change was accomplished through the cross-breeding of plants, not by the techniques commonly referred to as “genetic engineering.”) By 1978, all Canadian rapeseed produced for food use contained less than 2% erucic acid. The Canadian seed oil industry rechristened the product “canola oil” (Canadian oil) in 1978 in an attempt to distance the product from negative associations...'

Thank you, as a fellow that grew up in Tisdale, Sask. a town that is famous for not only Brett Butt, but also a slogan that didn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out it wasn't PC.
