Food..

I will eventually sit down and write a real blog about this...

Anyway, the basics on meat:

CAFO - Condensed Animal Feeding Operation. These are horrid. They keep animals inside and confined. They can be organic. They can be superfund sites.

Chicken - 45 days from egg to fryer when on hormones.

Pig - Kept so that they can stand and lay but not turn around or walk.

Beef - given rBGH/rBST and mostly fed grains, which is not their natural diet.

Fish - farmed salmon - bad - they eat their own feces - other fish? I don't know much about.

Dairy - Organic is better, but it can still be a CAFO product. I try to buy Organic Valley because they support Heifer International and family farms.

Oh and Monsanto - the debil. They make chemicals and grow a huge percentage of food. They have lobbyists and control jobs and many small-town economies.

High fructose corn syrup is to be avoided, IMO because of the environmental processes and impact. It has been correlated to many chronic health problems, but correlation is not cause/effect. They put it in tomato soup, bread and a plethora of other products.

I try to focus on eating local and happy. Nothing should be tortured for my sustenance, as far as I am concerned.

Some time I will write more.. not today though.
