Question
Is green food genetically modified food or organic food? i am confused... :(

Answer
Dear Harman,

If you mean green with a capital "G", then that usually means it's food that has been grown or prepared using environmentally friendly methods.  It is generally *not* genetically modified, but it may be organically grown.

Of course, if you just mean green food with a "g", then it just means that the food is colored green.  Like green M&Ms (they're green, but are they really food?).  Or lettuce, or any green vegetable.  :)

Hope that helps.
