Disclaimer and apology up front. I am making fun of myself as I type this potential soapbox, or new thinking I have.. so feel free to slam me on this one!! I need a good kick in the pants.
My objective is to see if others have had this same thought process... so here it goes..
ONE of the many reasons I deer hunt is so I can provide quality meat for my family. We eat wild-venison a bunch! Five deer per year for my family of five is about right. I know I have told them, and many other folks that inquire, how much better of an alternative to store bought meat that venison is. Is this true?
For those who are reading this that are organic nuts (guaranteed to have several on this forum!) have you thought about what a main staple of food our beloved corn-rats eat? Corn! Not just any ole corn.. but GMO Corn... Jeez, I am hating myself even more after bringing that acronym up since I support Monsanto HEAVILY as I plant round up ready beans and corn for you guessed it.. the-WILDLIFE that I harvest and share with my family.
Yes, deer eat browse/forbs/and other tasty non-GMO vegetation, but you cannot help to think how much Roundup the deer have 'rounded up' over the years.
Why do I give a crap about GMO/Organic/Roundup consumption? I opened my eyes a bit after reading an
article like this, , amongst many other studies that I have seen which indicates a direct connection to roundup and cancer.
Will the giants prove roundup is safe once again? Maybe, but there will be something else heavily marketed like 2,4-D largely because Glphosate has become near ineffective with weed-control in our fields.
I am not quite ready to start preaching anti-GMO but I suppose I am beginning the journey of really learning about the potential cause & effect of this product.
Anyone else have something to share about this?
