    ??? I’m no vegan but this is just complete BS and today being vegan has almost no negative impact on your health. Yes, you have to take some suplememts, but even if you eat animal products you often still need suplements.

          I raise my own, thanks

          How much soy is organic???

          Last I checked 97% of soy is GMO to ignore glyphosate

            Uhhh sir. You have just confused genetic modification and a weed killer. Please stop embarrassing yourself. This is a Wendy’s.

              Do you not know how gylophosate works??

              The plant needs to be modified to ignore the glyphosate that attaches to the nutrients that causes all plants unable to eat therefore die.

              Now thia modified plant is chalk full of glyphosate while its growing

              Once again I’m baffeled by people like him beeing able to raise an intelligent and feeling animal, kill it and devour its cadaver (and beeing proud of it, lol).

              Like, just eat the crops directly instead of passing it through an animal and loose like >80% of harvested callories)

              He’s right on the GMO thing, tho. There are crops that have been specifically modified to increase their resistance to glyphosate.

                    Strangely I only know what a quartz lattice looks like. No idea what olivine is off the top of my head.

                    Is GMO resistance to pesticides instead of resistance to pests the low effort hack it sounds like to a non-ag major?

                I know how intellegent animals are. I have to interact with them daily.

                And yes I know I am right about glyphosate, Monsanto (now bayer) used to sue farmers for recovering seeds from soy because it infringed on their patents. Also do the same things with cotton. Farmers used to feed the sheep the left overs untill the GMO product started to kill the sheep…

                Hahahah, oh how naive you are.

                What you’d call naive, i’d call it idealistic. Like 99% of GMO soy is used for animals. If I am naive if I exlusively buy organic and regional (at least from the same country, not the other side of the world) legumes and soy products, so be it…

                All that glyphosate has gone to your brain budd

                From what i’ve seen in documentaries about Roundup rural regions have more miscarriages and malformed babies so i guess the main risk is still exposure in the direct environment (living and drinking tap water in areas with a lot of conventional agriculture).

                I assumed pesticides were like antibiotics where the stuff is stored inside fat and muscle tissue and found in high concentrations in meat products aswell but it seems i was wrong. Most articles online found high concentrations on conventionally produced fruits and vegetables.

                I’m not gonna change your mind by arguing with you on the internet, and I’m not trying to, but I’m genuenly curious: How can you eat something you raised? I’ve had chickens, rabbits and dogs in the past and I couldn’t imagine eating them. Each one was an individual and had their own personality and character. I’d probably puke if someone told me I’ve just eaten them.

                  How can you eat something you raised?

                  Chickens are easy, I don’t name them or interact other than feeding. Although I did have trouble with the last female last year. Put her into the chicken holder and she managed to get out.

                  We do have 3 egg layers that are 8-9 now and couldnt eat them

                  Pigs, I interact daily, give them scratches and treats. We send them to an abittoir.

                  Everything dies eventually, at least I know they had a good life while it lasted.
