As both a graphic designer and compulsive organizer, I have a fascination with antique printer’s type drawers. So many adorably tiny compartments paired with the aesthetic of an old printing shop…what’s not to love? Which is why I’m shocked that I’ve only just discovered BlueBirdHeaven.

Americans (the world?) pretty much have grudgingly accepted that GMO foods (and other organisms) are literally being shoved down our throats. But American consumers are not sure if GMO foods are safe and by a large majority, consumers want their food labeled if there are GMOs in them as Scott Hensley of National Public Radio reports,

Don’t feel bad if you’re unsure. Only a quarter of Americans say they fully understand what genetically engineered food is all about, according to a survey of more then 3,000 people conducted for NPR by Thomson Reuters last month.
