This will make you think twice about eating meat

Post by Zizzle »

At least mass-produced meat and chicken. I only buy local, grass-fed ground beef now from a local market or farmer's market, and nearly all the chicken I buy is organic. I do buy standard steaks and lamb occasionally, just because the organic versions are soo expensive...but at least they are in one piece, not ground up mystery meat (although I do know about the glue they use to keep some steaks together :roll: ). The meat industry is truly frightening. Incidentally, I once placed a doctor as a fellow at the USDA/Food Safety and Inspection Service. He became a vegetarian very quickly, but wasn't at liberty to tell me all the gory details. Ugh.

Our food supply is truly in crisis.

Unfortunately this industry employs a lot of hard working individuals that can be affected by the decisions outlined in that article. Approximately 300 people in my local area were affected by the decision to stop making "pink slime."

Until people are informed and outraged, the industry will continue to feed the most poverty-stricken people horrible food. Those of us who can afford organic are lucky. I feel very strongly that we need to be a voice of reason in the industry and it will cause changes. Thanks, Zizzle for the article.
