Sigh. This subject is always so depressing to me. People think it's ridiculous how much money I spend on organic, non-GMO food. For me and the dogs.
But my raw food co-op just started carrying Mary's chicken and turkey! And the other processing plant I buy from has organic, pastured, grass fed beef!
I'm stoked. Between that and my CSA I do pretty well for us.
It's kind of hard to figure how eating corn and a piece of salmon could be real different than eating corn with the fish gene in it already. So that study cited is real interesting to me.
I wonder if it's the GMO or the Round-up residue that causes trouble.
When companies with vested interests speak of their products as being safe, we need to look closely at the controls these companies implement and their track record in providing reliable and safe information. In the case on Monsanto, the evidence both past and present leads to the conclusion that trusting their findings without independent verification can be disastrous.
One of my big issues is the loss of diversity in the crop rotation. What would happen if a fungus came through that the crop was particularly susceptible to? It's all the same variety instead of having a dozen different varieties with varying degrees in susceptibility.
I guess I'm not against experimenting with new ideas, but I don't like the way that everything else is being lost by the wayside.
Lol. Organic.
No such thing in todays world. One can only try to minimize the 'stuff' that doesn't belong in the food supply. Garbage is so pervasive in our enviroment nothing can get away from it in any shape or form.

Indeed. It's hard to find meat that isn't fed GMO corn. And even harder to find meat that isn't fed GMO soy.
I don't eat meat, and I try my best to stay away from GMOs, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. But I can't say I do it completely. Especially if I go out to eat.
I do like that my CSA farm has llamas and uses their manure to fertilize the crops!
