wow, look what they're allowed to feed cattle in the U.S.....

[canadianhitman]

This is why I only buy Maple Leaf Prime chicken (chicken that is only fed VEGETABLE GRAIN feed – a blend of corn, wheat, soybean, canola, and vitamins that contains NO ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS), and Alberta beef. A buddy of mine has a line on bison that are strictly grass-fed also.

There is better quality meat out there if you are willing to look for it, and spend a little more than the big-box supermarket charges for their cut-rate crap.

I think it's the recycled chicken shit that I find the most revolting. What sick bastard thought that one up?

On the plus side, with the advent of Mad Cow at least feed animals are no longer cannibals.

+1 just another reason why I don't eat meat.

Go watch the documentary "Food, Inc."

Great film! You'll learn a great deal..

I saw one documentary where they were feeding cattle powdered concrete to help them gain weight faster so they could be slaughtered earlier.

You almost have to feel for the farmers though. That is a tough business to be in and while the free range organic farmers have better stuff, it costs more plus taking much longer to produce (meat wise) and that equals lower demand.

+1 just another reason why I don't eat meat.

I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 11 years. Unfortunately, that stopped being an option when I developed an intolerance to glutens and legumes.

Despite the fact of eating meat, and always taking a good balanced multivitamin and B complex supplement since I was a teen, I'm still discovering I'm deficient in certain nutrients (B12, of all damned things, who knows what else ...)

I wonder if all the little kids in Asia with Beri Beri who eat nothing but polished rice would have the same concerns.

you mean the asians who suffer a 1/20 of the maladies we do? it's because of that diet that they don't have the vascular disease's we do. So I really wonder who's better off.

As a doctor in training you "should" be aware of the effects western diet has had on us.

As a retard, I fully expect you to sensationalize everything that is bad in order to push your agenda while ignoring the fact that people in other countries dont even have access to the vitamins and minerals that are required for proper growth and as cofactors for the most basic of metabolic reactions out bodies require to sustain themselves. Dont be such a fucking faggot. I wasnt saying we necessarily are any better off. I was merely pointing out that for cry baby pieces of shit like you, someone will always be out to get you, you'll always have it harder than everybody else, and you'll always be whining and bitching about EVERYTHING.

The truth of the fact is, you dont have to eat anything you dont want to. Nobody's forcing it into your mouth. And the fact that you live in the western world means you have it A LOT better than the people in Africa, Asia, etc etc. Stop being a whiney little bitch. If you dont want to eat beef, don't fucking eat it. Is it that fucking difficult?

You dont see kids running around here looking like this. There's a reason for that.

These kids arent fat b/c they eat a lot of TTT beef. That's not even fat....

All of the above images are due to deficiencies in the most basic vitamins and minerals that due to the western diet, you had no problems getting an adequate supply of when you were a kid. Stop crying like a little girl and be thankful for what you have.

Don't blame him, not his fault, docs in this country get shit for nutritional training.

I've literally typed, DOZENS of times a doctor's sage advice to some obese patient as being "I told him/her to stop eating." THOSE VERY WORDS and I'm not making it up. Not, "I recommended they meet with a nutritionist," not "I advised them to start getting some gentle exercise every day," just stop eating. Shit, it works for anorexics, right?
