“Eat local and organic, period. And fight GMOs invading U.S. food industries and American homes.”

Local? That would really limit your diet if you live in the desert. I knew a guy who worked for an international meat company. They “harvested” 12 million chickens a day, except for holidays and weekends. That’s why chicken is dirt cheap and universally available. Their chickens come from farms that have one million chickens each in cages containing 100k chickens. So are we supposed to eat only free range chicken? How long does it take to come to market on organic feed? How much does it cost?

The same is true for everything. If we go to all local all “natural” (what is that? EVERYTHING we eat is the product of hundreds of years of selection) how much food will we grow?

The result these activists are looking for is eliminating a large swath of the population through starvation.

Every day lebenteengazillion tons of bird poop waft down from on high ~ infesting everything beneath them with insect parts, viruses, bacteria, and every other substance you can imagine birds manage to swallow, produce, or otherwise stick in their beaks!

Free range chickens, surrounded by miles of tasty bird food snacks, acquire many times more than their fair share of wild bird poop.

Give me GMO every time there's a choice ~ I want to live!!!!

And stuffing THAT many chickens into cages breeds diseases & infections that can only be controlled with antibiotics. Furthermore, how many of those chickens have been fed growth hormones so that they are ready to “harvest” at a younger age?

Little girls are starting their periods in kindergarten & boys are growing boobs while becoming increasingly more effeminate. You’re totally convinced beyond a doubt that the administration of these drugs in the food chain has no impact on human health?? Rrrrriiiiight.

You can keep your Frankenchickens. I’ll take a natural, free-range bird any day.

Straw man argument, but yes, it can work in the desert.

CAFO's like this are prime breeding grounds for enhanced pathogens. That's how we got whe H1N1 version of E-coli and why those types of operations have to load up on antibiotics(how do you like eating that with your cheap chicken.?)

If we get the governmental regulators out of the local farmers hair and let them do what they do best, we can meet our food needs with food that is actually tasty and good for us.

The result these activists are looking for is eliminating a large swath of the population through starvation.

Total BS. Look at the people behind the GMO's and their agenda.
