Farming is how they live. I come from a family of 7 generations of farmers. All the men in the family lived to be in their 90's. My great grand-mother lived to be 98. NO GMO's for them. The government wants to control EVERYTHING. Even they choice of planting your own crops. Pretty soon the farmers won't have a chance anyway. The plants won't have a chance to thrive because of all the aerosols they are spreading day in and day out. It’s all about taking money away from the farmers. Farming is how they live.

They are cheaper to feed because they do not require separate phosphorus food supplements, and they are better for the environment because they release up to 70% less phosphorus in their waste. Now in their eighth generation of enviropigs, the University of Guelph is still pursuing US FDA approval, and recently applied for the same from the Canadian Regulatory Agency. If successful, enviropigs could be the first transgenic meat to make a big impact on both pollution and your plate. Should the other billion or so pigs on the planet be nervous?
