Make your grass fed products USDA Certified Organic. Grass used for grazing farm animals can be sprayed with Roundup. USDA Organic is the only way to be sure Roundup or other toxic pesticide were not used.
Zen Honeycutt uncovered in her travels to New Zealand that it can be a practice of farmers to kill old grass so new more nutritious grass will grow.
It was so weird to me to have her say that during this interview because I had just bought about 5 blocks from New Zealand grassfed cheese at Aldi's Market for what I thought was a great deal. Normally always buy organic, but thought why would this product have Roundup if the cows are just eating grass?
Did think there was a possibility the farmer was also supplementing the cows diet with GMO products, but allowed myself to go against my organic rule.
Then a week later Zen comes on the show and tells me this story! Blew my mind and realized the only food you can really trust is organic. Grace Gershuny who wrote the original USDA Organic program guidelines told us that even the lowest level of organic is ALWAYS better than anything conventional. Thought that was good advice because so many people rationalize not buying organic because they think you can't trust it.
Bottom line the amount of pesticides in organic is going to be practically nothing compared to conventional and whether have a NON GMO certified seal or not ORGANIC IS ALWAYS NON GMO and is actually redundant on organic products and in my opinion misleading because makes people think they cannot trust other organic products when GMOs are NEVER ALLOWED IN ORGANIC.
Please watch the video since Zen says it best and it is our goal for people to become teachers because we are told so many lies, it is people helping each other that will protect our future children and the planet, not big corporate!
