It was on Survivor that she realized something was wrong with her diet. She felt much better "starving" in the Australian Outback then she did eating back at home. After the … [Read more...]

What is GMO "GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE).
