Heres whats really going on with mass-produced meats and why you might want to steer clear.
Factory-farmed animals can have unhealthy diets.
Which begs the question, whats feedstuff?
So, when you eat factory-farmed animals, you might also get an unintentional serving of feedstuff.
In short, their bad diet can become your bad diet, which can become counter-productive to your health.
Bad diets make for sick animalsand people too.
The sickened animals can also be given chemical additives, plus constant, low-level doses of antibiotics.
Factory-farmed meat can be a less nutritious product.
It may come as no surprise that animals fed an unhealthy diet will make for a less nutritious meal.
It may very well yield less nutritious food with more of the unhealthy fats.
It’s no wonder the stuff is so much cheaper than grass-fed.
The animals can experience stress.
Factory farming can pollute the earth.
The manure must be collected and removed.
As a result, the surrounding soil can becomeover-saturated with the stuff, resulting in ground and water pollution6.
That said, raising animals on pasture can bemuch kinder to the environment.
