As long as you don't group me with wacko the insane! Its all good.
I don't understand what is wrong with GMO food myself. What I can
tell you is that products made from GMO corn turn my insides out. This
leads me to be skeptical of beef and pork and chicken and turkey fed
GMO grain, and even venison here where most of their diet is gmo corn.
Is it the Bt? could be, it is a poison bred into the plant. Is it
something else? Could be. I started having trouble with corn
products 30 years, which just about coincides with when the first Bt
corn came out. I have no science. Just results of trial and error
food elimination.
What I have been able to figure out is that when I was a kid, all our
food came from the farm, except sometimes bread. Then we started
buying milk in place of milking a Hereford. and so it went until
here we are now. Almost nothing is homegrown or farm fresh, or eaten
in season.
BTW, had the first helping of homegrown green beans tonight, along
with a heritage black cherry tomato. Great real food! Had a nice
crop of sugar pea pods this summer so far. Way better than cat poop
jelly!
So I am seeking out things to do with exotic grains that Monsanto has
not heard of, and new types of those exotic seeds (grains)
IMHO, it is a conservative approach. Conserve. Conservation. It is
what we all do with our old MBs. Not a trendy term. The state
conservation commissions set up to conserve natural resources, have
become DNRs with the mission of dictating who gets to use natural
resources. The socialist approach, not a conservation or conservative
approach.
Even andrew is a conservative at heart, as are all liberals. He does
an excellent job conserving old MBs.
When GMO is only accelerating the plant selection that has been done
for eons, I don't have a problem with it. When GMO is grafting in
bits of other organisms, we may run into trouble. Such may be the case
with Bt grains.
