[QUOTE="IGotMyWings, post: 740113, member: 8639"] Look, guys, I understand that even a hybrid is technically a genetic modification, however, in cross breeding or intentional cross pollination, nature makes the choices as to what genes get moved up the ladder, free from any man engineered chemical additives. What I'm saying is I don't want anything in my food or what my food eats that isn't 100% natural. I choose my pasture seed carefully, and when I buy hay, I choose that just as carefully. Corn syrup is an artificial sweetener. Yes, it's made from corn, but it's not sugar. I don't know if there were GMO sugar beets used to make the sugar in the pop, but that's not my point! My intention with sharing the bit about the pop was that both my daughter and I saw a noticeable difference between the taste of the pop made with corn syrup and artificial citrus flavor, and the one that wasn't. We both preferred the one made with real sugar and real orange juice. In that vein, there is a noticeable taste difference in beef from the grocery, and in the beef that is natural grass fed. Do you know why grass fed and organic product vendors can charge $9.00/gal. of milk, or a cut of meat for $40.00 per pound? Because there are people out there that are so concerned with chemical additive and manipulation of the food supply, that they will pay it. I think those folks are gouging and taking advantage of people. My last sale was for $2.25/pound live weight. The folks who bought it are saving up the money to buy the next one from me as well. Partly because they like the taste and quality of the meat, and because my price, compared to the stores that sell the kind of meat that I raise, is very good. People are not being scared due to misinformation. They are being scared because they look around them and see more diabetics, more obesity, and more cancer. They see that chickens are raised in unhealthy conditions, and chocked so full of growth stimulants that the bones can't keep up with the body weight. They see cattle that are fed growth stimulants and sub-therapeutic antibiotics at rates that, at times, are so large that there is residue in the meat. They see milk that is pasteurized, fortified, and so far from it's original state, that a lot of people are lactose intolerant - but oddly enough, they can drink raw milk without any problems! They want their food to be raised naturally. They want beef that eats grass...natural unadulterated untreated, unmodified grass. All I want for my family, and my customers is the ability to assure them that when they cut into a steak, or bite into a hamburger made from my beef, they are eating wholesome, quality food that is free from molecular tinkering by a chemical company that doesn't care about anything but money and domination of the world's food supply and suppliers. With RR alfalfa on the market, there will come a time when I won't be able to make that promise. [/QUOTE]
