The foods we eat play a huge role in our health and well being, this we know. Therefore it serves us well to take an active interest in where our foods come from. Are they produced with organic principles in mind or do chemical fertlizers and pesticides play a role in their production?

Meat eaters should be aware of the huge role that chemicals play in the manufacture of meat today. Animals are often fed genetically modified feed, grown using intensive farming practices. The feed is laced with anti-biotics and growth hormones to ward off disease and promote growth respectively. All of these chemicals build up into higher concentrations the higher up the food chain they go. Therefore eating this kind of meat, wrong on moral grounds, is also very dangerous for our health.

This is why we have to investigate the foods we are eating and where the come from. It’s in our own best interest.
