A long article but kind of makes me leery of fast food and what's being put in our food.

Free range is the way to go. Cost more, but the health benefits and peace of mind are worth it.

We have grass fed cows here in Vermont. Better milk, and better meat.

As cattle trailers that had traveled up to four hours in 95-degree heat

But let's overlook the obvious and blame big pharma. This is why the FDA doesn't take the bleating of the food luddites seriously.

The GMO and other food scientists swear up and down they know what they are doing.

Such cruelty. PLUS, we’re eating poisoned meat. How long until human feet start falling off?

We don’t buy beef any more except from cattle grown in my daughter’s neighborhood. Happy cattle who’ve had a good life, that she’s talked to while walking past with her dog. We have great respect for lives of animals.

They’re just not timing it right. You give them the chemicals, then you watch them very carefully while they expand, and just before they explode, you quickly slaughter them.

I don’t think they read the instructions.

Watch the documentary King Corn (you can watch it on Youtube). Interesting take on the effect of corn on EVERYTHING, including cattle. They aren’t meant to eat it... amazing what it’s doing to them and us.

Plus, I miss can sugar pop — HFCS just doesn’t sweeten the same way.

And let’s not even get started on corn based ethanol...

This and that article on chicken coming in from China that I read yesterday are pretty scary.

At the end of August, the Obama administration quietly decided to start allowing Chinese poultry processors to ship processed chicken into the United States.

Tilapia and cod are raised in ponds and dosed with antibiotics and growth hormones. Imported Chinese apple juice reportedly contains three times the federal limit for arsenic in water. U.S. inspectors have also found tainted mushrooms and garlic.

The European Union reported that China shipped potatoes infested with insects, ginger laced with salmonella, pumpkin seeds containing glass chips and frozen calamari contaminated by arsenic to Europe last year.

USDA officials halted imports of Chinese shrimp, eel, catfish and carp in 2007 because of high levels of illegal antibiotics and chemicals. Three years later, officials seized thousands of pounds of Chinese honey after finding illegal antibiotics. And this year, more than 500 dogs and a handful of cats died after eating jerky treats made of chicken, according to an investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

There's also that tainted dog food and baby formula...

We need to ban all pharmaceuticals.

This sorcerer’s apprentice boondoggles have to be stopped.

Poor animals! Their hooves have disintegrated. That drug should be pulled off the market.
