I scream, you scream, we all scream for Soybeans!

Fact: Roughly 91% of soybeans grown in the United States have been genetically modified.

Fact: The Juice Box Café supports the 9% of soybeans grown naturally by using non-genetically, organic soy!

Genetically modified (GM) foods are those that have been tampered with by injecting foreign gene sequences into the DNA. GM soy is produced by forcing a gene into the DNA structure that renders it resistant to the powerfully toxic herbicide, Roundup. Studies show that once GM foods enter the human body, they do not simply disappear or deactivate. Rather, they can continue to function inside the body, creating an internal herbicide that the body was never designed to handle. Other studies show that GM soy-fed rats display signs of liver complications, allergic reactions, sterility, and infant mortality.

GM foods are being forced into the supermarket aisles, such that if you randomly choose an object on a shelf, there is a 75% chance it contains genetically modified ingredients. The information regarding these mutant, man-made creations is being shrouded and hidden from the general public, but we are here to help!

The Juice Box Café uses only organic soy in its products. Whenever you order the delicious smoked tofu curry salad (ever tried it as a wrap?), or perhaps the tasty vegan egg salad for brunch, you can sleep wonderfully that night knowing there was nothing funky inserted into your soy. We love our tofu just as much as we love our customers, and will continue to source the best ingredients we can to ensure a healthy future for everyone!

Last fact for the day: The smoked tofu curry salad has been shown to increase levels of pure happiness by as much as 100% (OK, so we haven't gotten the results from the lab yet, but I guarantee the two are strongly correlated!)
