What's the beef about beef?

Don't eat beef. Eat beef. Don't eat too much beef. Eat beef, but only if it's organic. Eat beef, but only if it's organic and kosher.

Ok, so here's the sitch.

I love beef, I do. Like one of my favorite Threadless T-shirts says: Meat is Murder. Tasty, Tasty Murder.

Whether or not you're a meat lover, there are some things you need to know (and I hope, after reading this, you will come around to the same conclusions I did.)

There are HUGE differences in organic beef and non-organic beef. Even if the package says "All Natural" that doesn't mean it's good for you. (this is a general rule too, for all foods. Food companies have lobbied Congress to allow certain phrases to be put on their packaging to make them sound as if they're healthier for you. They're not.)

The following lists comparing a conventional animal and an organic animal are taken from Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About."


Conventional Animal:
-A conventional animal has been genetically modified in breeding, thus becoming an animal that could never occur naturally.
-A conventional animal is injected with growth hormones and antibiotics, meaning that the meat we consume is then loaded with drugs.
-A conventional animal is not allowed to roam freely or exercise normally, thus creating an incredibly toxic animal that is unnaturally obese and diseased.
-A conventional animal is fed an unnatural diet of chemicals and feed that it would never eat naturally. Conventional cows, for example, are also fed ground up cow parts, pig parts, goat parts and horse parts. Many of these ground up animal parts are from diseased, sick animals that are not fit for human consumption. Keep in mind that a cow is a vegetarian and is not designed to be eating ground up diseased animals.
-A conventional animal is slaughtered by being shot in the head with a bolt. The animal experiences incredible pain and trauma. Adrenaline, which is highly poisonous, permeates the animal's tissue. The blood, which is loaded with toxins, also permeates the tissue. The trauma increases the energy field in and around the animal to become highly negative. The animal usually dies in its own urine and feces.
-A conventional animal is usually aged, which means the animal flesh is hung in a dark room and allowed to rot. A green mold covers the rotting animal flesh. This green toxic mold is bacteria that tenderizes the meat, but also fills the meat with more toxic poisons.

Organic Animal:
-An organic animal has genetics that have not been modified by man and is in its most natural state.
-An organic animal is given no drugs, so its meat is drug free.
-An organic animal is allowed to roam naturally, grows at its normal rate, and is not loaded with toxins or diseased.
-A grass-fed organic cow eats grass as it would in nature, and the grass has not been laced with chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.
-An organic animal that is also kosher is killed in the most humane way possible, by slicing its throat. The animal experiences no pain, is immediately drained of all blood, its internal organs are inspected to make sure the animal is 100 percent healthy, and the tissue is salted to draw out any blood and kill any bacteria.
-Organic kosher meat is not aged.


So. There you have it.

I hope your stomach turned when you read about conventional animals. Mine sure did.

I hope this has given you useful information and I hope you remember it the next time you're at the grocery store or (heaven forbid) a fast food restaurant.


Conclusion?

Yes, you can eat beef. But not too much. And as long as it's organic.
