It turns out I'm allergic to .. gmo,

I would like to see the research that proves you (or anyone else) are allergic to 'GMO'. All reliable and accepted research states that if one is allergic to a GMO version of a food product, they are also allergic to the non-GMO version of the product.

I diagnosed myself at this rate... I've been on a strict diet with no headaches for a few week... I ate some cornchips (not non gmo) and I was back in bed in pain within 2hours of eating them (I have had this happen several times... But I will read what you sent me and see what I can find... As I've heard it to but I've done on purpose eating something non gmo And I feel great such as verses gmo corn. And it isn't the GMO its self... I've heard It is with everything else they to it after harvested.

I haven't had time to read extensively or talk to anyone so I still need to do some research.

Sorry if that didn't all make sense.

Made perfect sense.

Nice looking goats!

Yes, I'm super busy and have been near headache free over the last 3Weeks. It turns out I'm allergic to chemicals, gmo, hair/lotion products, etc... I'm still getting them off and on but the pain is manageable now. And now I'm going to talk to a nutri-specialist and see if there is anything else on that matter.

for no headaches. We have similar issues here. It can be hard to do but buy only products free of man made fragrances. "Unscented" often means "chemicals added to make your nose not smell the fragrance" so look for "fragrance free". But read the ingredient list on "unscented" because often they don't have chemical fragrances added.

Made perfect sense.

Yep!
I don't know what all goes into the growing of GMO vs non GMO products. Could be the non GMOs are raised without as much in the way of pesticides and herbicides. After all, isn't the "purpose" of GMO corn to make it not die when sprayed with such things?

I don't know why but I've found that organic bananas do not go soft inside even when they start to brown spot near as much as non organic bananas. Must be something about the pesticides/herbicides get incorporated into the fruit itself.

Some are, some there is a different 'purpose' or an additional purpose.
Some are genetically altered to make them insect resistant or more unattractive to insects making pesticides not as necessarily or un-necessary at all compared to what is needed otherwise, tho you will not hear that on any of the all natural, gluten free, 100% certified organic, no pesticide/no commercial fertilize/no herbicide, Non-GMO, free range corn/fruit/ and vegetable boards.
It just doesn't fit that bugaboo narrative.

A lot of the NON-GMO plants need even more chemical pesticides, as part of the genetic altering in GMO varieties is to make some of them insect/borer/pest proof..or at least less attractive to the insects, while the NON-GMO versions still are very susceptible to insects.

Congrats! Glad to see you're back to having some goats to care for. I know you have to care for your younger siblings as well, but you always seemed much happier when you had goats in your life.

Thank you!

I love my siblings but my goats are my other half that makes me happy... Plus my siblings help me feed, milk, trim, etc. so all in one I get everything.

Plus who just can't not like a goat wanting kisses???? I got mom to help me do chores yesterday.

Well there surely is plenty of young hands to help at your place! The older they get the more they can help. Might be a while for the youngest brother though. How is he doing, growing like a weed?

He will be one soon.
