Smithfield’s pollution is extensively damaging to the ecosystem in northern Poland, according to the Helsinki Commission. Overapplying manure to fields is harming water systems connected to the Baltic Sea, and ammonia and nitrogen waste is contaminating the soil. In the Polish town of Byszkowo, residents developed rashes and eye infections after Smithfield’s waste lagoon overflowed and polluted two lakes"[http://www.scribd.com/doc/6303027/A-Factory-Farm-Force-US-Multinational-Smithfield-Moves-into-Europe]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616495046789224607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195252627266209667.post-54062971489638396022010-10-16T18:30:58.418-04:002010-10-16T18:30:58.418-04:00"In 1997, as reported by the Sierra Club in t..."In 1997, as reported by the Sierra Club in their damning "Rapsheet on Animal Factories," Smithfield was penalized for a mind blowing seven thousand violations of the Clean water act...The US government accused the company of dumping illegal levels of waste into the Pagan River...and then falsifying and destroying records to cover up its activities."[Eating Animals, Jonathan Safran Foer, Page 178]<br />What exactly do you mean by "safe"?

It is a healthy and necessary part of both society and the economy<br /><br />This article glosses over thousands of important aspects of the food chain. Just be careful of the low level thinking some bloggers/writers use as a crutch for poor research.<br /><br />Ryan Holiday said it best, "Breathlessly chasing the first lead you find without constantly checking it against the world around you is a dangerous way and unproductive way to think."<br /><br />I understand what you are trying to do, but the reality of the situation is that factory produced meat is safe, nutritious, economical, and it tastes good.<br /><br />The article mentions to switch to grass fed beef. Tim Ferriss wrote about that label in <a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/02/17/ethical-meat-vs-meat-hype-a-look-at-all-natural-grass-fed-and-other-half-truths/" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a> . Here is the operative section, "USDA regulated. It means, very narrowly, that animals eat grass. According to the USDA definition, “grass-fed” animals can also be fed grain, and can be raised on grass in confinement, as long as they have access to pasture."<br /><br />With a bit of research you will find that a lot of those supposedly 'natural' alternatives are really not healthy alternatives, nor offer anything much more than window dressing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195252627266209667.post-23474045009126706302009-07-22T18:45:20.566-04:002009-07-22T18:45:20.566-04:00Does everyone who cooks pork know that you are sup...Does everyone who cooks pork know that you are supposed to cook it THOROUGHLY? No medium-rare pork! Why?? Because pork can have tape worms and trichinosis that can really make you ill. Just thinking about it makes me ill! Or did you ever think about what parts are in pork sausage? Parts are parts right?? Ugh! Think about eating quality rather than quantity and stay away from factory meats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
