That the bugs are becoming resistant. Over time, while you build the soil. Organic not only produces more, but it more resistant to disease and drought. Search Polyface farm. It is how it should be done. cysterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909347823972577553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-63864359408322324472013-04-01T05:34:52.302-07:002013-04-01T05:34:52.302-07:00One thing that hasn't been taken into account ...One thing that hasn't been taken into account here is the population factor. GMO foods were designed with this in mind. Feed the most amount of people with food that can be grown anywhere. For the record, I'm not pro-GMO. But like Whiskey subscribe to eating what's good for me along with what's not. Enjoying life is a primary staple of mine.Big Al Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453120600494420102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-16075812295727402302013-03-31T16:24:58.695-07:002013-03-31T16:24:58.695-07:00While Monsanto needs to be shut down, I agree that...While Monsanto needs to be shut down, I agree that we cannot live our lives in fear all the time.

Furthermore, the real story is the strategy of Monsanto to corner the food market with patented GMO's and their legal bullying of anyone who dares to stand up to them.

What gets me about the whole genetically-modified paranoia is that the regular wheat and corn, and everything else that is farmed, has been modified by human behavior. Corn started out as a grass with a low yield; yet over the course of human history, we selectly choose to plant seeds that resulted in our current corn on the cob. The difference is that we did not do it in a lab over a short decade, instead we took thousands of years to do it--nevertheless, we modified the genetics of the current corn plant long before we understood genetics.

This is not always possible, and there are a few food choices I make just because I can't make them or don't have the time to make them. I worry about the future of our food - have you tasted a free-range chicken thigh lately? I didn't know what chicken was until I started buying from a local small operation. There are too many factory farms, where profit reigns over product, and the result is less than tasty food. Most folks don't realize the crap they buy in the store has very little going for it. Yeah, I'm gonna die someday, and those cigarettes I smoke on occasion are putting me that much closer to the grave anyway, but when it comes to food, I say we all make a little effort to support our local growers whenever possible, and discover what real food is supposed to taste like.JulieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486952287616044594noreply@blogger.com
