not eating meat ?

[Guest guest]

do you think it is better for you health to eat meat that is produced in the

standard way and

is therefor full of chemicals/hormones that you dont really want to eat ,or not

eat any or very

little meat. i know the ideal would be organic meat but we cant get that here.

Hi,

It is generally observed that territorial locale is critical to how much meat

is eaten & where you are located has a lot to do with the question.

Eat the meat. Don't assume everyone on here eats all organically,

there's just too much elitism on these type of lists to discuss

otherwise.

Choose your meats wisely if you can't get organic - lamb is almost

always pastured, as is beef, tho it's usually grain finished. Chicken

and pork are almost always factory-farmed and from bad conditions.

Wild caught fish are a better choice than farmed fish, for several

reasons including environment, but the wild caught ones I see are

usually the ones the Monterey Bay Aquarium asks people not to buy -

they're being so unsustainably overfished so their populations are

collapsing. That goes for shrimp, too.

For dairy, the pasturized milk is bad for you, especially the cream

because a lot of the bad stuff is in the fat like the chemicals from

the BGH. Powdered whey/milk is also bad because the process they use

to dry it turns the proteins into carcinogens. So go for the lower

fat. You can return some enzymes to it by making it into yogurt or

kefir, and there is a group that shares kefir grains for the cost of

shipping. When I was in Europe, I noticed their cream was yellow while

in the US it's white, so I'm guessing that getting imported cheeses

from Europe is better than from the US where many dairy cows barely get

a chance to see sunlight let alone green grass.

I've read on this list that soaking meat in acid like lemon juice or

vinegar gets out some of the toxins. Another thing you can try is

making some vegetable ferments and then adding meat and leaving it in

the refrigerator a few days so the lactobacilli can work on the meat.

Discard the vegetables and cook the meat. It may smell bad but it will

taste good - the bad smell is the sulphur compounds from the cabbage

cooking out.

The very worst places for beef are institutions like prisons,

hospitals, schools, military because they may be using the low-grade,

which is burnt out dairy cows like the ones in the beef recall from the

place that was using fork lifts to get them to the slaughterhouse

because they couldn't walk. Ewww!
