- Most commercial meat producers routinely use antibiotics, (a serious problem if you're concerned about the looming threat of 'super bugs'), hormones and steroids. Instead of treating animals with preventative care, most beeves, chickens and lamb are sick and crowded in their feed lots and holding pens, and these drugs are the only way to keep them alive long enough to get to your table.
- The grain fed to feed lot animals virtually eliminates all the cancer and immune fighting properties and nutritional benefits otherwise found in grass based operations.
- Commercially raised animals are routinely fed a diet of genetically modified corn, other dead animals, and stale chocolate! In an effort to raise the calorie intake of the animal, feed lots serve cows expired candy and chocolate- because it's cheap! Now we know why commercial meat will help you pack on the pounds!
- 1/2 of meat served in U.S. is infected with Staph. Staphylococcous is not included in the check off list of other bacteria present in meat.
- Many cows and sheep spend their 'formative years' grazing on pastures sprayed with chemicals like '2-4-D', an herbicide designed to kill unwanted forage from the pasture- and known to cause neurological disorders, kidney and liver damage, as well as cancer.
