My niece won't eat our eggs because I told her the chickens eat bugs.FarmerJamie said:A friend won't eat my home-raised chickens because "they walk in their own poo", but eats TB all the time. Umm, how does he think they keep the prices low?
Oh, don't get me started!abifae said:>.>
What does she think birds eat? LOLOL.
"the early bird gets the worm". this would be because they eat worms.
Well, she's got a better chance of getting over it someday if at least her parents are setting a good example. I know adults who think that way too!i_am2bz said:I don't know where she gets it, her parents (my BIL/SIL) love our eggs & stuff from our garden. Some people just have phobias, I guess! :/
(I guess I better not tell her about the other thread I've read on this forum, about how many bugs WE eat that get mixed up in the food supply...she'll probably starve herself to death. )
Cottonseed meal and cottonseed oil have high levels of pesticide due to the massive amounts of pesticide that is used on cotton. Don't kno how this is digested or if it is transfered to the muscle (meat) of the cow/steer. My DS has allergies to some of the pesticides and we had to watch cottonseed oil in products while he was growing up.Shiloh Acres said:Most beef around here is grass/hay fed too. My rancher friend (who said he'd split one with me) buys cottonseed meal as well. I haven't looked that up yet.
