Conventionally-Raised Meat

Consuming non-organic, genetically modified meat is something that you should absolutely avoid at all costs. You are what the animals eat, and in the case of conventional meat, this means hormones, antibiotics and pesticides. These things enter your digestive tract and literally get stored in fat cells.

The list of health problems that could develop from eating these conventionally raised products is a daunting one to look at, but suffice to say that if you’d like to avoid increased risk of allergies, IBS/IBD, skin issues and general feelings of illness, steer clear.

I highly recommend buying your meat from a local, trusted farmer. Get to know your local farmer and his practices. Farmers markets are a great place to connect with the people who raise the food that you’re putting into your body, and just knowing those who have a significant impact on the state of your health can give you confidence in the purchases that you make.
