Farms Don't Look Like They Used To

Good afternoon, this article discusses the importance of checking the labels on the food you purchase from the grocery stores where you shop and what you are actually consuming when you eat them.

I'm sure everyone has seen something whether it was a commercial, an old movie, or perhaps even a new movie featuring a location on a farm. A farm where cows, pigs, and chicken are peacefully grazing in the fields. The environment looks like something out of a children's book, the animals look happy and at ease, the farm workers look kind and happy. BUT these illusions are NOT true. 

Yes, there are a few farms like this left in the world, but oh so very few of them. You see, most farms nowadays are not the peaceful Old Macdonald type farms you remember from your childhood. Farms today are giant warehouses with hundreds of thousands of tiny little cells for the animals. The animals cannot move around, all they can do is stand in these tightly enclosed spaces. The workers use a pumping system to drain the milk from a cow. Yep, a pumping system. No longer done by hand. 

Pigs, goats, and chicken are treated the same way. All the animals are fed with steroids in their food, making the animals grow faster into their primed adulthood. The quicker they become full grown, the quicker the workers can chop them up and make them into food. Not only does the food you buy come from these disgusting places, the food you buy also has those same exact genetically enhanced ingredients in them. Yes, the same ones the animals had to eat to grow faster, yes you are eating those too. 

Am I against eating meat, no. Am I against eating meat from farms like this, yes. I believe God put these animals on earth for us to eat or else he wouldn't have given us teeth called canines. Canines: ripping or taring teeth. Last time I checked, I didn't need to rip lettuce with my teeth to eat it. But back to the point, God wouldn't want us to treat these animals like this. Farms like these need to be put to an end. We need to bring back the old classic farms and we need to shut down these warehouse farms. 

If you are still not convinced, let me share a few stats with you. The United States of America is the only country who uses genetically enhanced ingredients in their food. The U.S. also has the highest food allergy and asthma rate than any other country. If you stop and think, "Why am I allergic to food like peanuts? Peanuts are made of the earth." The reasons behind it are there are GMOs in your food. (Genetically Modified Organisms) 

The U.S. also has a higher risk of getting diseases like cancer, diabetes, strokes, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and food allergies/asthma. Would you like to know why all these diseases are higher here than in any other country around the world? It's because every other country doesn't use GMOs in their foods. Also the obesity rate is much higher here than any other country as well.    

The increase of food allergies has sky rocketed since more and more companies have been using GMOs in their foods. You may be asking, "Why doesn't the government stop this?" Because the government is running it. They get millions of more dollars from these genetically enhanced foods than they would off of farm foods. Think about it. Places like McDonalds. McDonalds is a huge chain fast food restaurant. Places like McDonalds have become extremely popular, everywhere you turn there's a McDonalds. Imagine if McDonalds started randomly selling healthy food. Oh and don't be fooled by their "Healthy Foods", because they are just as unhealthy as their fattening foods. Would people still go there? Probably not.

There are a few places that are serving only healthy foods and don't have any GMOs in their foods at all. Restaurants like Chipotle for example. Chipotle doesn't serve their food with GMOs. Have you ever wondered why their food tastes so good? It is because of that reason. 

Step away from the greasy burgers from McDonalds and eat at places like Chipotle. To find more places like Chipotle, Google "Restaurants that support non-GMO" You're not going to find any cow milk with a "Non-GMO" sticker on it, but no worries. Try out SILK's almond or soy milk. At first you're going to think it tastes weird, but after you start drinking it more and more often you'll start to really enjoy the tastes of them. And when you do decide to drink cow milk again, you'll realize how gross it tastes. 

Fact: Did you know industries add bleach into cow milk to make it more white. Its true, Google it.
