My husband calls me while he is driving home from work. "I was just listening to a brewing podcast [My hubby brews beer], and they were discussing Alfalfa that is Genetically Modified to withstand weed killer. How do we know that the dairy cows that provide us our milk aren't fed this stuff? What about the beef we eat? How do we know what they are eating isn't Genetically Modified?!"
Let me pause here for a moment. MY husband was just asking me whether or not the food that we consume is Genetically Modified. My heart did skip a beat, folks. This is the same man who is always skeptical of any diet adventure I bring into the house. This was a big moment for me. To have my spouse on the same "Real Food" page as I am is so awesome.
Anyway, I was sure that I knew the answer to his question (no), but I decided to contact the producers directly to confirm my suspicions. In case you are wondering, both Double Check Ranch and Save Your Dairy DO NOT feed their animals any Genetically Modified crops. I love that I am able to actually speak with the Farmer that produces the food we buy. Isn't that the way it should be?
I have been wanting to do a few posts on why we choose Grass Fed Beef and Raw Milk, but I need to find the time to devote to these subjects. Having kids to keep alive and starting school suck all of my free time out of me.
Speaking of school, I can share a little tid bit that I learned in my Lactation Consultant class last week: Breastfeeding does NOT make your breasts saggy and lifeless. We get to blame pregnancy for that one.
If you want to learn more about Genetically Modified Organisms, head on over to The True Food Network. There is lots of good information on that site!
