The Earth can deal with most poisons given some time. The problems you metion are still a stocking density problem apart from perhaps gmo but the reason we have invested in gmo products is a stocking density problem because there are more mouths to feed than none intensive production methods can manage and make a profit.I love you respond and explanation. Great thoughts. Except for the above.
Crop that is meant for animals can contain lots of poisons. It’s even in their shit.
And please dont forget the harm thats being done in the countries where the GMO soy and corn is coming from. And even if thats not in the feed you ferment or give to your chickens, there is a lot of poison used in agriculture. So your chickens poop at least a little poison too.
In commercial chicken farming its a lots worse. Apart from the toxics the farmers use on the land on purpose they spread even more with chicken poo from non organic chickens. The manure that is spread on the land does also goes deep in the ground, into our drinking water sources and in our surface water.
In the Netherlands it even gets worse. Some farmers dump their manure illegally in a ditch or in the forest. Because of the regulations we have on when and how much the farmers can spread on the land.
If the farmer is caught he gets a huge fine for deliberate pollution. But the chance to get caught is very small. So they keep on doing this.
Old tax for talking too much about the environment.
