OK, I'm not saying who is right or wrong here but......
What some of you guys are missing is the message the consumer is getting. That message is from anti GMO folks and PETA. You, the farmer need to understand this. Instead of laughing at the ignorance of a lot of city slickers you need to get the message out that you are taking reasonable care of your animals and that GMO's are safe. Right now you are losing this fight.
Even the food processors are learning. GM (General Mills) ran an ad just a year or two ago for Cheerio's, you know the cereal made from OATS? Big point they were making was that it was GMO free. And sales went up. Go figure!
My wife works in a convenience store/out door power equipment place. One of the favorite snack bars (supposed the be the healthy ones) from a few years ago sales has tanked in favor or another brand. The difference is the new one claims to be GMO free. Seeing the same thing with pop. Juice sale are up and pop sales have tanked. People have been convinced that the corn syrup used in most pop is bad for you. So when the kids say they want something to drink people are buying em juice and water.
This guys is what you are fighting. And the PETA and anti GMO folks are playing hardball.
Plus people today, especially younger people are more conscious of health issues. Let one person claim that something isn't as good for them and now you have to prove beyond any doubt that what they were told isn't correct. What makes it worse is they the "anti's" tell them that you are going to say they are wrong and say think about it, that guy (the conventional farmer)is only concerned about money.
Getting mad at each other on here isn't doing one little thing to change people's minds and darn sure isn't educating the average consumer.
