The Top Organic Beef Vermont Farmers Provide

By Kristen Baird


Industrial agriculture comes with lots of controversy of late. There are many studies that indicate how harmful it can actually be to consumers. All one needs to do is look around and see the rise in chronic illnesses, likely a result of the use of pesticides, antibiotics, and steroids. It's almost impossible to stay healthy when food sources are questionable. That's why so many are turning to the top organic beef Vermont farmers are providing.

Real food comes from real food sources. Grocery stores and butcher shops provide a variety of meat that is often questionable. While many think that boneless cuts are meant to be more convenient in food preparation, which they can be, they are not the natural way. Often, bones end up being crushed and processed, and finally added to other foods.

Bringing home a cut of meat and knowing where it comes from gives the consumer peace of mind. They know what comes from a farm, that it was allowed to roam free and eat what they are meant to eat. Mad cow disease is a result of animals being fed foods that are not meant to be a part of their menu.

A healthy cow enjoys the various types of foods meant to be in a cows diet. As such, they grow slowly, naturally, and healthily. That's how one can serve a healthy meal to their family. On the other hand, packaged meat, and especially beef actually comes from an unknown source. A small amount weighing as little as one pound can come from numerous cows.

Turning organic can make all the difference in keeping the family healthy and happy. There aren't any antibiotics injected into the animals, or their food for that matter, and they aren't given steroids. Industrial agriculture uses steroids so that animals grow faster, which will bring farmers greater profits.

Basically, they are using science in food, which is very unnatural. The end result is the end user, or the consumer ends up sick. Packaged foods, including meat have unknown ingredients and additives that will affect people slowly but surely, after consuming them for several years. It's not unlikely that they are one cause for the growing numbers of autoimmune diseases and cancers today.

Forcing animals to grow or using science in foods isn't natural. On that note, neither is cooking the way it is today. Opening up a package of prepared frozen foods and heating it is not cooking, and it's not healthy. One doesn't have to look that far back to remember how people actually cooked from scratch.

Questionable food sources and cuts of meat are linked to obesity. Consider just a few decades ago, how people in general were thinner. There was less diabetes, obesity was rare, but today it's everywhere. It's also true that organic cuts of meat are more expensive than what one may find on a grocer's shelf. A good solution to this is to reduce the amount of meat consumed, and rather, treat oneself to something healthy less often so that it suits the budget.
