meat...

Did you know that meat isn't always that great for you? I learned something while in Korea, and it's all about meat!

Did you know that in many countries, like the US, the companies that raise lots of cows, chickens, pigs, really any kind of animal, put growth hormones into the animals feed to help them grow faster so they can produce more meat and therefore make more money? Did you know that when we eat that meat we are eating the same hormones? Gross huh. 

Did you know that those hormones they feed the animals are extremely bad for you and that cancer can thrive off of those hormones? Did you know that they can make you gain a lot of weight? Think about it. Hormones make things grow. Like when a woman takes extra estrogen she can gain a lot more weight, it's the same thing. 

I have a friend here whose family has a lot of cancer and whenever they find it out the doctors immediately tell them they need to stop eating meat because of all the hormones. These doctors are from New Zealand by the way, so it's not like some third world, witch doctor kind of thing. Just giving you an example. 

Kind of makes you want to stop eating meat doesn't it? It does for me at least! More reason to buy organic!

Oh, by the way, there is also A TON of added hormones in milk too, in case you were wondering. Ewww!!!!
