<p>Does anyone know if the corn in chicken feed is genetically modified corn. I found a farm that feeds their chickens soy free meal. I know that chickens are adapted to eating seeds such as corn which is one of the basics in chicken feed. So that is OK but I was wondering what kind of corn they use.</p>

Genetic pollution has spread man-made genes extensively. There are studies showing that well off the beaten path in Mexico (the birthplace of corn) man-made genes are found in their heirloom varieties.</p>
<p>The question is if GMO corn is bad. I'm not convinced it's terrible, but it's something that's unnecessary. </p>

Sucks, but it's the truth. </p>
