Sorry, Clark, have to disagree! I am 62 years old, born and raised on a farm and farmed for the first 40 years of my life. I gardened, canned, froze and raised beef and hogs, which we also butchered and ate. When farms started raising animals in feed lots and chicken in barns, the taste quality deteriorated. The hormones and pesticides added affect the meat and eggs. You would not notice the difference if you had not been raised on it yourself. I spent the last 15 years buying from the grocery and wondering why I needed enzymes to digest the meat. Then, I experimented with organic meat, buffalo and elk and found I did not need the digestive enzymes to be ablt to tolerate it. !! I now buy my eggs from the neighbors--range fed and the above meat sources. The animals are not stressed and do not release cortisol that also affects the meat. I am a doctor, and have also done some nutritional research over the years. My family still farms, so I know about the fertilizers and pesticides and how the soil has been depleted. We now need more minerals that are available in our vegetables. I have traveled extensively---China, Australia, 7 trips to Europe, Turkey, Brazil and Canada and Mexico,etc. Everytime I come home, it is difficult to eat the fast food----my body likes the fresh produce overseas. The additives and preservatives we put in foods are a tragedy. It makes them last longer, but they are not good for our bodies. Call me if you want more details.
