Poison calories lacking nutrients is what the article contained in the link seemed to be saying. The former description I had for the GMO grains and grain by-products now being offered was empty consumables, but I was wrong. These altered grains are not even filler, many are actually detrimental, even poisonous.
As I read the article linked above, I couldn't help but wonder about "restless leg syndrome" in the lack of potassium of GMO consumables. Then there's all this gluten sensitivity. Anyone who isn't living under a rock has got to be wondering about the increase in diabetes, obesity, and corn syrup in everything.
I've noticed two things as I've removed corn and most grain from my livestock feed, and gone to home grown vegetables and greens. First, even "organic" can be genetically altered, as the term organic is defined pretty broadly. Let me share about the difference in the animals, which I'm believing may translate to better health for me in the milk and eggs.
I gave no purchased grain through the breeding season last year. The kidding season this year resulted in a higher percentage of twins and doelings. Now this is just my first year of the experiment, but so far I like what I see. I also noticed the animals had healthier, thicker winter coats and the kids seemed to thrive much stronger even with the extended cold season. The next thing I've noticed is larger udders on the does. Even my miniature breeds appear to be in full milk supply continuously, and the kids have achieved rapid growth.
Chickens without corn has been an interesting experiment, but appears to be a rather successful one. Egg production is nearly 100% daily which is the greatest egg production, so far. In the past, egg production was probably 70% of the flock per day. I don't yet know if this will have any effect on brooding, but I am watching and waiting.
Of course, I'm now hoping the apparent positive impact on the herd and flocks will be passed on through the milk and eggs in higher vitamins and nutritional value. Realizing the GMO crops are not just empty calories, but detrimental toxins, they should no longer even be considered food.
