The Truth About the Meat You Eat Pt. 1
There are so many topics to discuss which affect our health that
it is hard to choose just one at a time.
First, I want to remind everyone that the premise of this site
is Unhealthy Soil = Unhealthy Plants and Animals = Unhealthy
People.
With that in mind, let's discuss meat, fish and meat
substitutes. I just read an article by some well meaning person
who was bragging that chicken and soy are good for you - WRONG!
If you consider how our ancestors developed in the last 10,000+
years, you will realize they ate non-chemical meats, berries,
and nuts - things that they could forage. They ate deer,
buffalo, birds and other types of meat. The common thing all
these meat sources shared was that they were grass fed and
loaded with Omega III's and other beneficial fatty acids.
However crude it was, they also caught fish. If they were inland
it was fresh water, but if they were close to the ocean it was
sea food.
The land was also untouched and the grasses and other plants
grew and died and went back into the soil year after year.
Because of this, the meat from the animals and fish in the
streams (or sea food) were loaded with trace minerals. The nuts
and berries were also loaded with trace minerals, vitamins,
amino acids, and enzymes. With this
combination, we had healthy
soil, healthy plants and animals, and healthy people.
Fast forward to the present - what do we have today? Grain-fed
chemical beef, chemical chicken, cancerous fish from fresh
water, toxic sea food, no trace minerals from fruits and
vegetables, and genetically engineered grains grown with toxic
fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides.
We see all kinds of articles suggesting that chicken is
healthier than beef. Before you get all warm and fuzzy with this
thought, think about the things that go into the average cattle
and chicken diets before they get to your grocery shelves.
In my next newsletter I'll talk about these diets and what the
cows and chickens go through before you bring them home for
supper. It will not be appetizing.
