As a family concerned with the foods we eat and the things we put on our skin, we grow a lot of our own food and make our own soaps, lotions, etc.,.
We now have a website dedicated to our product line, which we firmly believe is a better alternative to what big corporations offer – and our customers think so, too.
But that’s not what this blog is about…
Did you know that the milk from genetically altered goats will soon be in grocery stores?
And what about genetically modified pigs & salmon?
Here is an excerpt from an article posted on the Consumer advocacy group “Center for Food Safety” (you can check out their website – it’s in my blogrole):
“Genetically engineered animals may be heading to your local supermarket faster than you think. Though creating animals in a lab sounds like science fiction, it’s happening right now: Genetically engineered super salmon, which grow twice as fast as normal farmed salmon, goats engineered with spider genes to produce silk in their milk, and pigs engineered with mouse and bacterial DNA to improve digestion.”
WOW!!!
So, do you want to drink milk from a cross between a spider and a goat? How about pork from pigs crossed with mouse and bacterial DNA?
And did you know that the USDA finds it unnecessary to LABEL the foods indicating that they are genetically altered???
Come back every now and then and look for more agri-news about the space-age technologies used to “improve” our foods, that will , in the long run, wind up causing illnesses yet unknown!
