John Sorrentino 2012-04-21T20:49:26Z 2012-04-22T12:10:00Z <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> http://paleohacks.com/questions/113788/is-the-corn-in-chicken-feed-genetically-modified/113790#113790 Answer by MoBee for Is the corn in chicken feed genetically modified?

Matt 2012-04-21T22:04:55Z 2012-04-21T22:04:55Z <p>Nearly all corn has GMO genes in it nowadays, even "organic" corn, albeit not intentionally. 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> http://paleohacks.com/questions/113788/is-the-corn-in-chicken-feed-genetically-modified/113818#113818 Answer by foreveryoung for Is the corn in chicken feed genetically modified? foreveryoung 2012-04-21T23:34:58Z 2012-04-22T12:10:00Z <p>Unless you're buying chicken that is certified organic, most likely the corn is GM. Sucks, but it's the truth. </p>
