Meat Glue Secret

The following is from my daily email from Dr. Mercola.

He says,

If you are still on the fence, wondering if you should make the switch to organic, grass-fed beef from a local farm instead of the mass-produced variety from your local supermarket, perhaps this news brief from the Australian Today Tonight show will help change your mind.

If you haven't yet seen the video, please click through and be ready to be amazed.

By now most people probably realize that ground beef contains the meat from hundreds of animals from different parts of the world, but few would ever suspect that the same can be true for prime cut steaks! Well, that's possible through the use of so-called meat glue, used to "super-glue" small chunks of meat together that are too small to sell, and passing it off as prime cuts...

I have said it before but I am thankful!!! I know that my meat does not contain meat glue. I know that my meat is fresh. I know that my meat is not mixes. I know that there are no ADDITIVES. 


Check out local farmers, please! Most will be cheaper than store meat and you will be getting a high quality meat instead of high quantity. :) If you need help searching for local farmer, I am happy to help! 

Store bought meat...

Hello again!!! I know, posting again! 

I was on yahoo getting ready to check my email when I came across this... 

1 In 4 Supermarket Meat Samples Tainted With Drug-Resistant Bacteria

Nearly a quarter of the meat and poultry sold in U.S. supermarkets is infected with nasty drug-resistant bacteria, too.

There are more than 30 types of Staphylococcus, but Staphylococcus aureus causes most staph infections in people, including skin infections and food poisoning, according to the National Institutes of Health. The drug-resistant strains found in the meat and poultry samples are especially difficult to treat because they've evolved beyond the regular arsenal of drugs that kill them.

The researchers say that most Staph found in meat can be eliminated by cooking food thoroughly, but it can still pose a risk to consumers if handled unsafely or if it cross-contaminates with other things in the kitchen.

The Chicken that SHOULD be banned

The Chicken Which Should be Banned

Posted By Dr. Mercola | November 08 2010 

Do you put dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent made of silicone, in your chicken dishes?

How about tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a chemical preservative so deadly that just five grams can kill you?

These are just two of the ingredients in a McDonalds Chicken McNugget. Only 50 percent of a McNugget is actually chicken. The other 50 percent includes corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and completely synthetic ingredients.

Organic Authority helpfully transcribed the full ingredients list provided by McDonalds:

"White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavoring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary).

Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), spices, wheat starch, whey, corn starch.

Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent."

RAW MILK

“If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.” ~Thomas Jefferson

Yesterday a friend of mine sent me an email with a very interesting story... I must pass this on... I must share it...

Have you heard of Morningland Dairy? They are a farm in Missouri. They graze cows. They try to be as natural as possible. They sell RAW milk and RAW cheese. They ship.

The FDA has shut them down. They were ordered to destroy 5o,000 pounds of raw cheese, despite clean reports. I have been reading all sorts of stories on this. I am intrigued.

Milk Recall

Milk has been recalled in 5 states due to pasteurization problems.

This is why my family and I have choose to drink Rice or Almond Milk and if we buy milk we buy RAW milk.

Here is the article on the MILK RECALL.

Here is why we consume RAW...

Raw milk is a living food.

Raw milk is rich in beneficial bacteria.

Raw milk is rich in food enzymes.

Raw milk is rich in natural vitamins

Raw milk supports small farmers, not feedlots.

Raw milk is not homogenized.

Raw milk is easier to digest.

Raw milk supports your local economy.

Fresh Farm Eggs

Here is a story that is in the news TODAY about an egg recall....

228 million eggs after being linked to an outbreak of salmonella poisoning.

I am glad that my family and I eat Fresh Farm Eggs.

If you haven't yet WATCH Food, Inc. rent it and watch it... I am sure you will never want to eat store bought eggs, chickens, beef and pork.
