Drugged up Meat

In honor of the backyard barbecue, This weeks tip will be about meat. Cows and chickens are fed grains that contain hormones and antibiotics. These chemicals are absorbed into the animals system and stored in the fat and muscle tissue. We, in turn, eat the animal and these harmful chemicals are passed onto us. Over time, the hormones are causing damage to our bodies, but more importantly the chemicals are causing changes to our genetic structure and affecting the health of our children. Hormones given to animals, including dairy, are causing young children to start puberty at much earlier ages. The antibiotics given to animals can cause the germs and bacteria in our body to become antibiotic resistant. The alternative? Other than becoming a vegetarian, eat free range, organic chicken, beef, turkey, pork and dairy. You'd be surprised at how much better the meat tastes without all of those nasty chemicals. Most mainstream, popular markets now carry a line of organic meats.
