Places like Whole Foods Market and Strauss Farms are educating me on the world of agriculture. It's definitely a topic I wouldn't CHOOSE to learn about, but what's going on right now is pretty important. -
Lots of cows and other livestock that are being used for meat, milk, and other dairy products are starting to be fed genetically engineered alfalfa. That means that we are sort of eating fake food too. The problem I have with that, is that people are trying to get away with selling that meat or dairy without specially marking it, or letting us know at all that it's fake, or being fed GE crops. It's important that the citizens of the planet know exactly what they're eating.
I think it would be okay if farmers wanted to feed their animals whatever kind of food they want, after all, it's their cows. But, I want to know what the farmers are feeding them, so that I can stay away from GE foods. There are positive sides to this too, meat and dairy made from GE crops would probably be ALOT cheaper than naturally, wonderfully grown crops that are fed to animals. Many families who are struggling to buy food could afford meat and eggs. Which, would be GREAT!
