Pardon my ignorance, but what's wrong with soya?
Soya is an american invention, was a fermented product but the yanks decided to make it into a protein product. Now grown in vast amounts in S America etc however it is a serious GM product unfortunately forests are decimated on vast scales to grow it for animal foods and even though GM it requires endless herbicide spraying. For many years we were having cattle feed delivered with GMO in it which is a serious concern as we are get to know the ending consequence of using it. Is it necessary? I dont know why feed producers insist on packing it into feed unless it is a cheap filler to get the % protein.
The reason we have gone organic is to get away from this GM product. The problem is that it is in organic feeds which state 'organic' and to the best of our knowledge GM free however with prevailing winds etc I am not overly happy with Soya being in my feeds. Also the importing of these feeds - is it necessary?
I am fed up of seeing Soya in so many products the worst being soya lecithin (byproduct which is chemical filled) which is used a lot in chocolate and gets in our bread!!!
Sorry to bark on but I dont see why a product that is gm, sprayed and shipped around the world needs to get into our feeds.
