Why are meat eaters freaking out about hormones in their milk?
They eat animal body parts loaded with drugs and they
are now freaking out about hormones in their milk...
Is drinking drugs worse than eating drugs?
Answers:
I agree. I think mostly people are just blissfully ignorant to the crap thats really in commercial meat and diary products. Meat is loaded with steroids, hormones, antibiotics, pesticide residue (from feed) and loads of other nasty stuff. Commercial milk and dairy products are no better.
Huh?
Um first...just a general observation but dairy cows are not the same as beef cattle. Dairy cows aren't killed for meat. So we're really not talking apples to apples here.
Secondly, I think this is a pretty general observation. I don't even know where this is coming from! You're really asking a question but sparking a "debate" for the sake of "fun?" If you have a theory that this is happening, at least provide some fact, data, or sources to support your claim...
First you have to deal with the fact that MOST people don't know. Then you have to cut them some slack because they're being lied to by the very Governmental agencies who were created to protect them. Then you need to point a finger at the media which does not report the stories people need to hear about their food. Why does all of this happen? MONEY. Lots and lots of money.
If you want to know the truth about the food industry in America, all you have to do is follow the money, the huge lobby for the Ag giants, as well as the Chem giants such as Monsanto and Dow. Ask why the top officials at Monsanto and FDA play musical chairs with jobs. First they're FDA then they're Monsanto...and viola some new chemical is passed off on the American people as 'safe'. Find out why Aspartame was okayed.
We didn't know until a couple years ago, when on a lark we bought Fast Food Nation. That book changed out lives and the investigation into our food began. Now we know, and we're trying to let others know. If YOU know, you need to help educate people....because for the most part they do not have a clue.
We live an organic lifestyle now and try to help people see that it's not as difficult as some would have you believe. We are free from the chemical stew that is the processed food industry at your local grocery store. Our beef is chem-free, free range grass fed, same as our chicken and eggs. We get raw milk from an organic dairy herd we bought a share in...and we shop locally as much as possible to help sustain our local small family farmers.
There is so much information available to people, but before they can access it, they need to know there's a problem. This is the message I hope you'll send.
