How does it feel gulping down all those GMO substances? Natural is always better, the government is just dumbing you done through substances they inject into food. In remote villages isolated from the rest of the world people live 200+ years old and they've never had any of these GMO foods or vaccinations. It's only now the government and scientist corporations are trying to shut the little man down and are hunting all these ancient age old recipes and techniques of growing true natural food. This is why they're after Africa because they want the rich ancient recipes and agriculture techniques that were long lost!!!!

My gardens are literally on another continent. My family still maintains them, though. I miss fruit, most of all. All store bought fruit tastes like water.
>Doesn't own his own non-GMO cow and milks it to make non-GMO milk, non-GMO cheese and non-GMO butter
Cows are too much maintenance for non-commercial farming. Sheep and goats is what people use. We have 2 goats. They produce too much milk for our small family of 5.
>Doesn't grow his own grain and hand mill his own grain to make flours
No, we don't lol.

Oh big words so scary. Kill you're are self.
Aren't all fruits and vegetables nowadays GMOs? Historically speaking. There's no such thing as a pure plant. It's always been messed with for higher yield, sustainability, etc. So labeling something as a nongmo is asinine.

Some people draw a distinction between selective breeding & direct gene editing. Of course, old fashioned breeding methods occasionally create dangerous produce by accident (especially with tomatoes & potatoes, relatives of nightshade that they are), while with direct genetic engineering the exact changes are known, and the plants have to go through actual safety testing.
It should be noted that only like 10 food crops even have GMO versions available to buy. Any wheat flour you can buy, for example, is non GMO. Granted corn & soybeans make their way into almost all prepackaged crap, but you should be minimizing consumption of those foods for other, legit reasons, like cost, and being empty calories.
That all would make me a farmer.
