It isn’t a glamorous topic, but if you really want to know what feeding livestock genetically modified crops in the form of animal feed does to their gastrointestinal health, just ask the Danish farmer, turned anti-GMO activist, Ib Borup Pedersen. He has watched baby pigs, called sows, turn their noses up at food, and older piglets contract extreme cases of diarrhea just after eating genetically modified feed.
Farmer Pederson says, “It shocks me that the industry does not take the evidence of Roundup’s and glyphosate’s harmful effects more seriously than it does.” The farmer feeds his pigs only non-GM feed, and thinks all genetically modified food should be banned.
Soy is one of the most commonly used crops in livestock feed, and it is heavily sprayed with glyphosate. Most GMO soy is meant to withstand the chemicals and still grow, but there is evidence that with all the spraying of toxic chemicals, GM soy is completely altered, and therefore should not even be considered a ‘food.’
