Story at-a-glance by Dr Mercola:
Is the Meat You Are Eating Being Fed Animal Feces?
- It’s now illegal to feed beef-based products to cows, a rule put in force to stop the spread of Mad Cow Disease … but the beef industry has found ways to circumvent this rule by using a feed product known as “chicken litter”
- Chicken litter, a rendered down mix of chicken manure, dead chickens, feathers and spilled feed marketed as a cheap feed product for cows, can contain cow meat and bone meal
- The USDA is not doing enough to prevent the spread of, and to detect, Mad Cow Disease cases; this includes not only the chicken litter feed that’s commonly fed to cows, but other violations and allowances as well
- Along with “chicken litter,” meat from CAFOs may also contain a mix of other dangerous and disgusting “additives” – from antibiotic-resistant disease to extreme growth promoters and cloned animals
- Support the small family farms in your area, particularly organic farms that respect the laws of nature and feed animals only what nature intended
