I've seen the studies and the pics: stuff any animal until it's 50% past its optimal body mass on a uniform diet and it will get sick-- there's a high correlation between fat and cancer inducing metabolic changes.
All the food we eat has thousands of organic compounds that have never been tested: at the least GMO stuff _has_ been tested and someone actually knows what its genetic structure is.
There are also many foods (organic or not) that are toxic if not properly prepared (potatoes and rhubarb, for example).
I'm much more concerned about the antibiotics and hormones in dairy and meat, which is why I prefer organic milk and meat (which I can find at not much of a premium over the regular stuff where I live).
I also find it tastes better and has much longer shelf life.
Agreed on the shelf life of the organic milk/meat. We get organic milk on markdown for ~ the price of regular name brand milk. Even if the use by date is that day we usually have a week or 10 days past that before it turns. The exception is the 0% milk. That’s only 3 or 4 days past the use by date before it turns.
My kids eat organic meats, hubby and I try to IF we can find it on special often enough.
Testing GMOs in animals is pretty simple: some critters get fed the GMO foods and some get the non-GMO foods.
We’re not talking about giving animals thousands of times the normal exposure to some obscure chemical.
