"So you're saying the livestock at the CAFO are eating pesticides in their feed but there aren't any pesticides in the manure so its ok to use it in "organic" production ????"
yes. Just wanted to add, see as that gmo pesticice laden corn is going throught the hogs system it gets broken apart and put into the hogs system and stays with in the hog. The hog itself kinda acts like a filter system. Its natures way.
If there is no pesticide residue in the manure, how is there any pesticide residue in the meat?
If livestock are apparently consuming "pesticide laden" feed, then the by products of that feed aka manure will also be "pesticide laden". And how is that acceptable for the organic standards?
Going organic
