The CRAZY standards for Organics!!

Well... Ive learned more information on the American standards for organic meat,
from my understanding an animal can be called organic as long as it hasnt been injected with steroids 30 days before slaughter!!!

This is insanity!!! anyone with a couple brain cells can see that the steroids are still being injected and 30 days isnt going to stop them from having an effect on the animals body and subsequently our bodies!

What do steroids in meat do to us? Well think of it this way whatever steroids do to people thats what its doing to the animal, breaking down tissue, creating a whole lot of meat that has no nutritional value in terms of minerals etc, so the quality is bad to begin with and secondly its like taking second hand steroids!

My main concern is that these standards are out there, and people who do not educate themselves about this are being fooled by the whole system, even though it says organic its not the ultimate test for food health. You can still have cornflakes that say organic and that could be totally true, the sugar is organic, the corn is organic, it still doesnt mean that you should be eating that much sugar!!!

DO YOUR RESEARCH - I will do my best to post provoking questions and thoughts so that people have questions to ask and outlets to find the information, if you are concerned,
Ask a farmer about his process, what he puts in the animals, what he doesnt put in the animals, what he does when they are sick, and make sure hes treating them humanely!
Its not easy to be totally organic, there is alot of care and effort put into it, and so there now are a LOT of major corporations out there who are realizing the buzz that is created around the "organic" buzz word, on top of this, governments cant afford to put any major grocery chain out of business, or major food producers so the standards will change in a way that suites them.
- make sense? see how it all fits together?

Until Next time
