This last year I had an entire greenhouse of spontaneous tomatoes. The chickens had been using it as the coop and moved to total free range. All the tomatoes we threw in there over the last couple years just exploded with all that nice chicken poop. It's the tomato plants that took over Texas.

Genetically Modified Food and or what is known as Transgenic DNA in food is different than pesticide free and or free-range livestock. GMO food ingredients like Soy Protein Isolate and Lecithin, High Fructose Corn Syrup,
Cotton Seed Oil... etc. have been changed at the cellular level. Example, a few of many... Scientists are crossing wax moth genes with potatoes to minimize potato bruising. Flounder genes spliced into a tomato to grow at lower temperatures.
One of the more bizarre, genetically engineered animals...
goats that produce human breast milk. Also GMO Trees, Grass, Fish and Insects.
Look into GMO... increased toxicity, decreased nutrition, and antibiotic resistance.
