NON GMO feeds

Organic standards do not allow GMO products.  Organic does not need to be labeled Non GMO to not contain GMOs.  There will always be a trace in things because of contamination.  An organic company that tests their grain is as non GMO as you can get.

ok, sorry, I'd just read an article that stated the opposite.

Had to address this as well- Under no circumstances, does an Organic crop get sprayed, dusted, or treated, with a pesticide, or herbicide. It is STRICTLY forbidden in Organic production. It doesn't matter what type it is. The only thing they could ever use, is diatomaceous earth. (a type of clay). An "organic pesticide" is not called "organic" because it is ok for Organic crop production. It is an "organic pesticide" because it is an organic compound, instead of a chemical.
Now, a non-gmo, conventional crop, is a different story.

My words are in red to make it clear that I have faithfully reproduced the words in these chosen quotes.

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com...101-organic-farming-conventional-agriculture/

"The sad truth is, factory farming is factory farming, whether its organic or conventional. Many large organic farms use pesticides liberally. They’re organic by certification, but you’d never know it if you saw their farming practices. As Michael Pollan, best-selling book author and organic supporter, said in an interview with Organic Gardening,"

"“They’re organic by the letter, not organic in spirit… if most organic consumers went to those places, they would feel they were getting ripped off.”"​

Then Parthian, and Nicotine, and Arsenic, and Sulfur, and Copper, and Rotenone, and Strychnine, and the Bt organism GE spliced into no spray GMO corn or cotton are all harmless? I guess so because they are all used in vast amounts on Organic food crops.

I like this copy and clip from the University of California at Berkley of all places. This is something that the organic farmers and organic pesticide service industry don't want you to see.

"When you test synthetic chemicals for their ability to cause cancer, you find that about half of them are carcinogenic.

Until recently, nobody bothered to look at natural chemicals (such as organic pesticides), because it was assumed that they posed little risk. But when the studies were done, the results were somewhat shocking: you find that about half of the natural chemicals studied are carcinogenic as well.

This is a case where everyone (consumers, farmers, researchers) made the same, dangerous mistake. We assumed that "natural" chemicals were automatically better and safer than synthetic materials, and we were wrong. It's important that we be more prudent in our acceptance of "natural" as being innocuous and harmless."

At least GreenMountainEric or some other poster did mention that with every bite of organic food that you put into your mouth that Montesano or some other big Aug. Corporation some were and some how makes money on the non treated, NON-GMO seeds, and "Safe" pesticides used to produce it.

Chickengeorgeto you sir/ maam im sorry to say you are so uninformed it isnt even funny. The people that are informed about gmo's know the truth and how harmful they really are. You need to ask youself why monsanto spends millions to keep from having to label there products. Do You not realize they want to keep the majority less informed. But of course people like you would probably still buy there junk. Whats crazy is everybody has so much infomation at the tip of there fingers you could sure learn alot on this topic until the internet gets suppressed which are lovely politicians have been working on the last couple years. Why is everything so backwards well it's cause of greed and power. We as individals that are informed about this needs to educate as much as you can. Mosanto wants to patent all food supplies so they have full control. Talk about scary! Those that think this is a fairytale well go ahead and consume there products. You will reget it down the road. GMO'S have no place on earth unless of course you don't love the people around you.
