Food for thought

I watched a recorded show on Oprah today (it aired yesterday 1/27/10.) They were talking about the negatives of processed foods, grain-fed cattle vs. grass-fed cattle, and the over use of Antibiotics in the animals we eat. There is a movie out called "FoodInc" that helps to shed some light: http://www.foodincmovie.com/ Within this link is a trailer to the movie. Very enlightening. Most farmers pump up chickens with antibiotics to get them to grow bigger, fatter, faster, and cheaper but it's horrible for us. Same goes for grain-fed cattle; grass-fed cattle is healtier for us and has way more nutrients.... Do we want to pay more $$$ at the Doctors office or do we want to spend a little more at the grocery store??? Food for thought right? Fact: Americans are sicker & fatter, with more cancer & diabetes than ever before! And, it's not even about switching to a vegetarian or a vegan lifestyle ~great if you are like some of us~, but it's about removing processed foods from your diets, and eating HEALTHY meats that are fed natural foods, like grass! (which is what they were meant to eat.) We have to support the good natural farmers in our area. Warning: It's going to cost us a little more money at the grocery store, and it's going to cost us a little extra time with preparing meals, but our family is worth it, and I hope you feel the same way about your families too. Please become more aware of where your food comes from, what you are eating, and what you are feeding your familes. Here's to a healthier lifestyle.
