Post by: Higgins11 on November 30, 2009, 02:22:25 am

I'm currently debating the issue of feed GM feed to my pigs. I was of the understanding Geneticly modified feeds were baned in Europe but see on here some people feeding GM nuggetts

I keep chickens, not pigs but they are fed on GM free feed and all future animals I have will also have GM free as well as my family!
May I recommend that you read "Seeds of Deception" by Jeffrey M Smith (It's an American book)
I'm sure you'll reconsider using GM after that.
Cheers,
Gordon.

We feed GM free.

Personally I am not so much against the idea of GM from an ethical point of view, I have mixed feelings on whether improving third world resources merits the technology, but I am against the thought of a mono-supplier Monsanto ruling the food world.

I seem to agree with Oakland.

I don't want to be policed my a seed company and don't like the fact my govenment allows it

Those of you who are morally opposed to GM ..........why
