Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 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 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 You know...I feed my kids organic meats too. For beef, I make sure they are 'grass fed' because you know you see cows running for the corn and soy fields! Damn you cows! I also purchase organic eggs, chicken, turkey and uncured ham. My brother reacts terribly to soy (not all soy, just the flours and proteins like the milk) -- and he hasn't any problems with the meat that I purchase. However, I would say it isn't out of the realm. I feel that way too sometimes .... Here I come Mickey D's, I give up! But then I remind myself I would rather put my money into something that is actually food and not some corporations idea of food. What does a chicken, turkey and pig eat anyway? laura:) > > Hi, > > This is probably extremely paranoid of me, but I wanted to ask.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I know there are people who will tell me that the below isn't really " the truth, " but I will tell you anyway the policies as I understand them, and won't get into the corruption or lack of fact-checking and proof... The way it is SUPPOSED to work is, if a meat is labeled organic, the animal cannot have eaten GMO food.If the animal cannot eat GMO food, it most likely has been free-range or grass fed (chicken being described " free range " and beef being called " grass fed " ) because organic soy or organic corn feed are expensive... easier to just let the animal be on the pasture. IF the chicken is organic, and it says " vegetarian feed, " the chicken has still only supposed to be getting non-GMO soy and corn, but was likely kept in a house where there could have been unpleasant conditions (therefore many people choose " free-range " products due to desire of ethical treatment of animals prior to eating them hehe) BUT the problem is, no one is really testing this stuff. You see what I am saying?So, the best chicken to buy would be organic free range chicken (but you can't guarantee that some GMO soy didn't float over from the neighbors yard and land in the birds food) or GRASS FED organic beef. If you can't get organic beef, grass fed beef is better than nothing... the reason grass fed beef, sold at whole foods or other places, cannot be listed as " organic " is because when it goes to slaughter, it goes to a place like in the Temple Grandin movie, what's that called, a stock yard? and while it is there, it is going to be fed whatever they decide to feed it... so sometimes that is some GMO soy or GMO corn. It it's organic, it went to some special location for slaughter that supposedly has said they don't feed them GMO crap. But again here is probably a place where there lacks double-checking. So... after saying all this... I know for a fact after multiple attempts, I can only tolerate organic eggs. (I haven't compared regular organic to free range organic) Regular cheapo eggs from chickens fed GMO soy and corn cause me to feel sick, have " allergic " reaction to the egg (ie hershey squirts) Hope that helps some.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Probably the only way you'll really know what the cow, pig, chicken and turkey are eating is to buy your meat from a local farmer/rancher that you can talk to and visit. Unfortunately with GMOs and cross-contamination, there's probably no animal out there not getting some GMO corn and soy at some point in their life.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I drive by this farm that says organic beef. I took note of the name and googled it. Can't find it. Short of driving up onto the guys property, any way to research organic beef sellers in my area? Probably the only way you'll really know what the cow, pig, chicken and turkey are eating is to buy your meat from a local farmer/rancher that you can talk to and visit.
