Real Food Chemistry and GMO Feed

Every week, more people ask if our Omega-3 Poultry and Omega-3 Pork are fed GMO corn and soy. It’s a question that has exploded in popularity. The short answer is simple: No, our animals are not fed corn and soy.

Corn and soy are poor feed choices no matter if they are GMO or not. They lead to high omega-6 fatty acid levels that cause inflammation in both animals and humans. That’s the real issue, not whether a plant’s genes were modified.

Understanding What Genes Really Are

Let’s take a step back and look at what genes actually are. Genes are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins. DNA itself is a compound made of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. Proteins are simply protein.

When people or animals eat genes, their digestive systems break them down into those basic elements, just like every other food they eat. There is no magic or mystery in this process. That’s why trillions of animals and billions of people have consumed GMO foods for decades without harm.

The fear surrounding GMO has nothing to do with real science. It has everything to do with misunderstanding basic food chemistry.

The Real Issue: Inflammatory Omega-6 Fats

The far bigger problem in modern diets isn’t genes. It’s the imbalance of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids. When people eat too many Omega-6s and not enough Omega-3s, their bodies stay in a constant state of low-grade inflammation. This imbalance has real consequences for health and is a key factor in many chronic conditions.

That is why we developed our Omega-3 chicken and Omega-3 pork. These meats have the healthiest fat balance of any available today. They are designed to reduce inflammation, support heart and brain health, and provide true omega-3 health benefits through proper nutrition, not marketing hype.

The Organic Myth

Another popular trend today is the obsession with “organic.” It sounds reassuring, but in reality, organic labeling means almost nothing when it comes to nutrition or food safety. Many organic foods are still high in inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acids and can contain naturally occurring contaminants.

The truth is that harmful compounds in food are often completely natural and “organic” by definition. The problem isn’t that they’re synthetic. It’s that they’re the wrong kinds of compounds for the human body.

So while people chase organic labels and GMO fears, they’re often ignoring the actual cause of poor health: the chemistry of the food itself.

Why Our Omega-3 Meats Are Different

At Slanker’s, we take a different approach. Our animals are raised on proprietary non-GMO feeds that focus on proper fatty acid balance, not marketing buzzwords. We don’t publish our feed formulas because they are the result of years of research and testing.

We can confidently say that our chicken meat is the healthiest on the planet. For years we sold pastured chicken and advised customers to eat it sparingly due to its poor Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio. Today, our Omega-3 chicken has a near-perfect balance, so you can eat it freely and enjoy the full omega-3 health benefits without concern.

A Final Thought

It’s ironic. Fifteen years ago, no one ever asked whether our chicken feed was GMO. Now, after developing the most nutritionally advanced chicken and pork in the country, the first question people ask is about GMO. Being anti-GMO has become fashionable, but it misses the point entirely.

The real question should be: Is this food truly healthy for the human body?

Our Omega-3 meats are backed by real science, not trends. They are carefully balanced, nutrient-dense, and raised with integrity. That’s what matters.
