Augh! It pains me to pass these videos on. But I have to. Everyone should know where their food comes from. Particularly meat……as it’s the most concentrated source of toxins being at the top of the food chain. The situation in slaughterhouses is out of control. But it will not change until consumers are made aware and the demand for cheap meat lessens.

The bad news: The conditions these animals are in are discusting and unhealthy, they are being fed genetically modified, hormone-laden, chemical infused garbage. All of this gets into our bodies. Girls are developing breasts and getting their periods at very young ages.
The good news: Beef, milk, chicken, eggs, etc. are far superior in nutritional quality when the animals are allowed to graze on grass and bugs. If you want to know where you can get wild meat locally, visit this awesome site: www.eatwild.org. It is quite cost effective to purchase a side or 1/4 cow and store it in a separate freezer.
