The Healthy Alternative to Pink Slime Meat Products
It’s bound to be on your mind after all of the media coverage surrounding that disgusting Pink Slime.
It’s obvious that intelligent people will not want to consume meat products that have been contaminated by Pink Slime being added as a filler. Regardless of whether the deplorable employees at the USDA think that it is fit for human consumption, there are many of us who would not touch it if we were starving!
So what is your alternative to pink-slimed meats?
Free Range grass-fed beef that is sustainably raised and humanely butchered is the short and simple answer. You can find it in Whole Foods Markets, many local Food Co-ops, CSAs, and a few select online vendors.
The vendors for exotic meats, Fossil Farms, carries many alternatives that you will find enticing and delicious.
Exotic Meats and Game from Fossil Farms
It is ideal to purchase your meat from reliable vendors and stores that actually care about the health and long-term relationships with their customers. Most big box chains have no such personal interest nor commitment to quality control and customer satisfaction.
You will find many companies who are producing meat products from beef to pork to turkey and even exotic meats which are steadfast in their policies and practices to ensure the highest quality of food for their customers.
Know your Butcher!
Know your Rancher!
Know your Brands and eat only the best of the best.
The problem with pink slime is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to assessing the quality of meat sold to the public. Long ago we discovered many horrific things that people in the food chain are willing to do to cut costs and extend their meat products.
It’s beyond belief that regulators either look the other way or are part of the corruption in the meat industry. I suppose that this is one of the reasons so many individuals decided decades ago to do things differently and formed their own systems.
You cannot afford to blindly trust the stores, producers, and industry insiders who are more interested in profit than in health and reputation.
Fortunately, there are many more companies who have integrity and health at the front of their minds when producing or distributing a quality meat product. Consumers DO have a clear choice.
It might require you to shop at different stores like Whole Foods or find CSAs in your local area; but it is well worth the effort. Anything less puts your health at risk!
