    I am not sure on the nutrition part, but it is nice to know you are eating something that has not been genetically altered to resist being sprayed with Roundup.

    Got four bunnies right now with a litter due any day. Have two chickens (the ones in the avatar) with another 28 eggs in the incubator due this weekend. Going to eat the roosters and enslave the hens.

    They have a lot of employees on the Federal payroll appointed by both parties over the years. Same thing with the USDA being run by feedlot owners.

    EPA being ran by chemical manufacturer CEO's, Fed being ran by bankers, etc etc.

    It's a double-deged sword. The experts are often the ones who know how to bend the rules, and it can cut both ways.
