For me anyway. I was just talking to a couple of people about this. That our food is contaminated. Most of it. But, especially meat. Everything from growth hormones to antibiotics. I am convinced this is a big part of why cancer rates are rising and hitting people at younger ages and kill faster than ever. My mother was diagnosed and dead in just over 2 months.

So, I quit eating meat because my youngest daughter wanted to be a vegetarian. And I continue to not eat meat because of things like this that I have been reading lately. I wish I could say it was all about compassion for the animals. But, it's because I wanted to support my daughter and found it seemed to clear up my thinking and I really started to think about how corrupt the food industry is. It's a shame we have the tools to feed people very nutritious food, but corporations deliver a lot of toxins to us in the grocery store.
