On PBS.org you can watch this revealing documentary about where Americans get their food. It is disturbing, frustrating and will make you want to know what you are putting into your body.
Watch “FOOD, INC.”
I have seen other documentaries on the way food, especially beef is manipulated in such a way that makes it unhealthy. Those documentaries caused me to stop eating beef and pork all together. The other read meat we would eat is grass fed local buffalo or cow from a local farmer who sells at our farmer’s market. We had switched to eating only bird, because we thought it was more difficult for their unhealthy conditions to effect the meat we ate from them. Since watching FOOD INC I have decided that only locally grown chickens and eggs is what I need to seek out. I am willing to pay more to ensure the birds I am eating are not pumped full of antibiotics and live their lives in a windowless shed walking about in their own feces. This solution will have to suffice until we buy enough land to raise our own food humanely and without chemicals and antibiotics.
