Another Beef Recall

The biggest yet, and the most horrifying. Industrial meat and poultry raising and killing practices are evil. Chickens and pigs in cages their whole lives, steers standing on mountains of manure eating foods that make them sick, and make us sick too. As long as we passively acquiesce in the insanity of CAFO operations, it won't stop. When we buy the very cheapest meat and chicken we can find, we tell these companies that we don't care what they do.

It's Way past time to start buying your beef, pork and chicken from a local grower, where you know how it was raised, and that it was humanely slaughtered. It costs a little more, okay, but your conscience and your health, and your family's health, are worth the extra money. The fact that pastured and organic meats taste better is a little extra reward to you for doing the right thing.

Hi Lynnet,
When I saw that I was thrilled that our freezer has local grass-fed beef and an antelope in it. Nothing feels better than knowing the kids are eating healthy food and we don't have to worry about this recall.

Just too many things about that news release to make one sick, the conditions, the inhumane treatment of the animals, the unhealthy results.

Now to convince the rest of the world what is truly the best for them and the animals!
