The Gourmet Tamale Mistake

We decided to get the Gourmet Tamales form the Texas Tamale Company that came in a cute little bag because they seemed healthier with their No Trans Fats and NO LARD claims. However, when I got home I noticed soybean oil was listed twice in the ingredients. So back to the tamale recipes and learning that skill so we can make our own. Mr. C has been showing interest. Instead of lard, Spectrum shortening could be used, no soybean in that. Could I track down masa from corn that has not been exposed to GMOs?  {sigh} Good luck to me.  Perhaps I can find some way to get the Irish to make some and then ship it to me? Ireland GM-Free!
