What is an unnatural plant-based whole food? Would that be a GMO?

Gracie girl, try starting with a bowl full of berries and use the Fage like whipped topping. Sprinkle a little Grapenuts or wheat germ on top for crunch. Yummy! Also enjoy a pancake full of blueberries and sugar free syrup or a breakfast of good cheddar cheese broiled on a toasted English muffin til bubbly and then top it with a slice of home-grown tomato. It's my favorite meal of the day!

Yes, I suppose it could be a GMO. I no longer eat corn for that reason.

Another one could be anything that's ground into flour or a powder: For example, they take natural whole wheat and grind it into a fine flour. When they do that, it's not whole anymore, it's unnatural and gets absorbed differently by our digestive system.

Another one is garlic powder or onion powder. It may taste good but doesn't have the same healthful effect on the body. The least amount of cutting is best. I cook whole garlic cloves, big or small. And I no longer dice onions. I might just cut one in quarters. I might try cooking a whole onion without cutting it at all.

A banana and glass of Almond milk. Not much of a breakfast person

You could bake the onion.

I also often make a smoothie with almond milk, a banana, protein powder and flaxseed.
It's delicious and (hopefully) good for me as well.

I admit you sparked my interest. When you cook the whole onion rather than chopping, does it flavor the food you are cooking with the onion? We cook a variety of vegetables on the grill and cut them finding they flavor one another. Summer squash is a vegetable we enjoy, but has little flavor on its own.
