Hi Ruth – thanks for that link. There is a lot of interesting stuff there. My personal opinion though is to be very careful about getting caught up in the vast conspiracy theories that some people post about. I don’t find the specific comment you are referring to so if you can find your way back to it, please post the direct link here. Maybe the site’s authors took that specific comment down. I would be interested in reading it though. I am in the middle of a post on this very subject since this week I received a ling email from someone wanting me to read and write about a few of these conspiracy theories. I think I will include this one in my post also.

I’ve only watched the first video on that link so far, but someone on there said they found proof that Monsanto and other companies like it are poisoning our food _on purpose_ in order to depopulate the planet. IIRC from what she said it’s some sort of government-backed plot (supposedly that’s why the gov’t is working so slowly to stop them, see?). Why? Who knows? Supposedly, according to either Monsanto’s own calculations or a government report (I don’t remember which), three million people are going to die in the next couple decades, the first million from outright starvation and the other two from malnutrition. Apparently this is part of the reason the government is insisting that GMOs are “not substantially different” from natural foods, even though there are studies and tons of anecdotal evidence proving otherwise.

As someone said in an article I read recently, GMOs are like the financial crisis, the only difference is we can live without money!

Hi Ruth – I could think of about 20 more that the mega food giants have already come up with. It is too scary to think of what might be next!

Carbon Monoxide in our meat, GMOs in our produce and processed foods, what poisonous ideas will the food industry come up with next?

I enjoyed your post. If I may, I would like to suggest my farm web site.

Sumas Mountain Farms is the only producer of 100% certified-organic, lifetime grass-fed & finished beef in the Lower Mainland of BC (near Vancouver, Canada). We also offer chicken, eggs, pepperoni, jerky, salami, sausage, farmer sausage, steak and more.

Because our beef is 100% grass-fed & finished, the quality of the meat is exceptional, and the flavor is unsurpassed. Plus, it is more nutrient-dense and packed with healthful Omega-3’s than conventional beef, which is healthier for you, your family, and the planet.

Please visit http://www.sumasmountainfarms.ca/ for more information! We have plenty of recipes for you to try.

Thanks.

[...] meat causes gas”. This uncomfortable searcher found my post on carbon monoxide in meat packaging. I wonder if there is any connection? Perhaps a side effect of the packaging [...]

The added cost of shipping does raise the per-pound cost BUT, and it’s a big one for me, isn’t our health worth it? It comes down to our priorities, what’s really important. I refuse to buy meat produced in unhealthy feedlots, so the choice is made for me. If you’re interested, check out Rocky Mountain Organic Meats at http://www.rockymtncuts.com. They have a flat shipping rate, and they have sales, just like conventional stores. Their cattle are graze-only; no grain-feed finishing. (They also Twitter. http://www.twitter.com/grassfedorganic)

Thanks for that Natalie. Of course once you pay for shipping the cost of that beef is close to 25.00 per pound. Seems like that is a bit too high as it is 3 or 4 times conventional prices. I have looked locally for grass fed beef directly from ranchers. But all the ones I have found so far put their cattle on grain for the last couple of weeks, claiming that is what all their customers want.

Happily for us meat-eaters, there’s a Wyoming certified organic, grassfed beef ranch, whose beef is not only tender and delicious…it’s the real deal. Cattle graze on omega-3 rich grasses, never see a feedlot, nor are they fed grains (which cows can’t tolerate, it turns out), or chemicals. Rocky Mountain Organic Meats ships frozen meat to anyone, anywhere. The meat is perfectly frozen when it reaches me, and I transfer every package from shipping container to my freezer. Their meat is safe, and did I already say it’s delicious? http://www.rockymtncuts.com
