If GMO alfalfa is approved for widespread use, it will be impossible for a mother to provide GMO and Round UP-free milk for her baby.
I believe the real concern for GMO alfalfa is that our nation's milk supply will not only be produced from GMO alfalfa and all of the tons of forage consumed will have also received glyphosate or Round Up pesticide poison applications. It will be virtually impossible to guarantee a mother that her baby is not receiving milk produced from GMO forage -- nearly all of which will be sprayed directly with glyphosate or Round Up pesticide poison applications before harvest.
This frankenfood puts our nation's milk supply at extreme risk for contamination!
1.
