GMO-Free chicks

[Sally_O]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I just ordered broilers and found these:

Ordered two batches of 25 -- that's enough killing for one day for this family. Hopefully they'll do well. That's all I'm ordering from now on!

If you don't know about GMO (and so many people don't!), this is a good documentary to start with:
http://GeneticRouletteMovie.com. You can rent online for $2.99.

No, it's not. It's harmful propoganda, and we'd all be better off if people would actually do some research before forwarding along every piece of fear-mongering crap they see on the internet.

And what research do you speak of that supports gmo? I'm very curious.

 

[Heiko27]

There is growing distrust of gmos all over the world. It is not "hype," but based on their own experiences and yes there are many people with genetic degrees who support this. Contracts in China and other countries are not being renewed. GMOs are wrecking havoc in many ways and failing to deliver their promises. We do not need gmos to feed the world. If you want to disagree that is fine, but I encourage you to look at all the angles and realize the immense cover ups that go on here in the US, and with other organizations, and at least read all you can on it and don't stop

Lol CrazyTalk..maybe you should change your username. All I can say is more than 60 countries have banned gmos and if they haven't they are to be labeled. I will stick to growing and raising my own food on food I grow and treat without chemicals, without gene splicing. I will continue to not vaccinate my animals and give them things I grow and create to prevent ilness and keep them healthy. No chemicals no ******** here. And I bet I live into my 100's cancer free, healthy as can be, drinkin weed tea

Haha, you gave yourself away by being so insulting. Tells me you have a dog in the fight. Who in your family grows GM crops receiving fat subsidy benefits? Or works for a GM tech company? Because anyone who researches GMOs -- which I've been doing for the last 8 years -- knows how dangerous they are.

Scientific American is no more scientific then Superman comicbooks. It's owned by its advertisers which include bio-tech and pharmaceutical companies. You might want to look at who funded any and all studies "proving" how safe GMOs are. It will require heavy-duty investigation, not all of it possible online. But the information is there.

GeneticRouletteMovie was produced by Jeffrey Smith, the acknowledged expert on GMOs. His website, ResponsibleTechnology.org is a good place to start. He's been doing this for many, many years and, while his conclusion is that GMOs are dangerous, that conclusion comes from research and independent international studies. You will find very well-documented information on that site.

Could not agree with you more. My first birds are 5 years old and I have been doing them in. They have ovarian cancer and it's quite common among gmo eaters. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-smith/genetically-modified-soy_b_735528.html. I have been studying this for while but did not expect it to so dramatic in my own animals. Their diet will be entirely changing, I am not going to raise sick animals.

You'll have to keep us posted to how they do for you. I just raised a cornish x and I know they vary a bit by producer, but never want to do it again. I've been on the fence about freedom rangers, heard mixed things and then read this http://www.motherearthnews.com/home...freedom-rangers-zb0z10zgri.aspx#axzz3BoOUQxvq My cornish is in the oven right now but I keep hearing the freedoms have better flavour, but I think they may be too over-bred for me. I like my heritage ducks for young meat the most so far.

 

[Sally_O]

We will have our first batch next week. We've done both Freedom Rangers and CX. I like the flavor and fat of the CX more and was going to get those again. But the FRs were delicoous, too, and I loved the non-GMO option. That's what put me over the edge. I will report back
