[QUOTE="Pnw Farmer, post: 1743798, member: 42548"] Not to start a pissin' match but that mass produced chemical laden "stuff" is what feeds the world. If the words "organic" and "non-GMO" make you feel warm and fuzzy inside then by all means buy what you're comfortable with but I've eaten every commodity from the back of my combine that my dad and I have grown since I was old enough to make wheat gum at 5 years old. I use it for feeding out our animals that I have no concerns in turn feeding to my family. The deer we eat have grazed on all the crops that we've sprayed. I clean up before I play with my kids on days I spray so I don't bring any residue in but once the plant has metabolized it I feel it's safe. There's too many ambulance chasers out there for the chemical companies to skip corners and for us farmers it leaves out backsides open to investigations by Dept of Ag if we don't follow all application rules. With that out of the way, you asked about ages we've been around animal slaughter and butchering. To be honest I don't remember the first animal I saw but my oldest daughter has been present in gutting deer since she was 18 months old. Pissed her off when we gave her the knife sheath to "help" me out and the thing wouldn't cut like my hunting knife. Lol. She's seen the animals being shot and I've always made sure to tell her to have respect for the animals, dead or not. They gave their life so we can have nourishment and they deserve respect for that. She has a little pocket knife that she helps me with when it's time for butchering. [/QUOTE]
