Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yes, if you are sensitive to soy/grass/corn/etc. and it is in animal feed, it’s possible that you will react to the meat. Tropical Traditions sells chickens that were raised on cocofood (coconut, no soy) they are expensive though.

I purchased local grass fed chickens and reacted negatively to both of them.I am allergic(or sensitive )to grass. Does any one else have any thoughts on this issue. Thanks for this previous post because I wouldn't have thought of this on my own Tammy F. Hi,This is probably extremely paranoid of me, but I wanted to ask. I was at the health food store last night buying organic ground chicken and turkey, and a woman mentioned to me that her daughter can't eat organic meats because they are vegetarian-fed and their feed has a lot of soy in it. So the soy gets in her system and she has a reaction to it, just because the animals ate it? I'm asking because my girls can't have soy. Is this true? Please, please, please say no! This seems ridiculous to me, but I wanted to ask because I only give the girls organic meats. I'm so close to feeding them an all-Mcs diet. (Kidding). Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 LOL -- since when is Apple Jacks healthy!?!? I've been to workshops for parents with ASD kids and I just wanna scream when I hear parents saying, " Well, my child has a limited diet and all he'll eat is pizza and Mc's fries and grilled cheese. Eating is a problem for him and we'd like him to try new foods like 's chili. " I'm just thinking...are you for real!?!? " Well, he cries everytime we go past Mcs and he wants fries. " Are you kidding me? Therapy costs a fortune. There's NO WAY IN HELL I'm feeding them pizza and Mickey Ds, especially while I'm shelling out tens of thousands a year in therapy. Food is the least expensive thing I can change. True coversation I overheard in the store the other day: " Mom, can I get Captain Crunch?! " " No. You promised me this time you would choose a HEALTHY cereal. " " But they don't have any healthy cereal. " (I was in Job Lot) " What are you talking about? Look. Right here. Right under your nose. Apple Jacks " " But I don't want Apple Jacks. " " You're getting the Apple Jacks. A promise is a promise.... " Ok...even at my worst, When I was feeding my kids crap, I knew it was crap. Really?!??!?!?! No wonder these places are making money fist over foot.
