Oh Yes, I hear you eskielover.... Makes me want to stop eating too...
I might be wrong, but I "think" I read that Canada won't buy beef from USA because of all the hormones and antibiotics.
I eat very little beef.. Maybe hamburg here and there because I love hamburgers.

Chicken is just as bad. We prob should stop eating meat altogether.. Aj brought some chicken legs home the other day and Lordy, the legs were huge. Don't think I've ever seen a chicken with such large legs..Giant chicken flashes in my mind..
Growing up in the 50's my sister said our parents would buy meat at the local butcher shop. We always ate fresh meat. Fresh meat was the norm back in the day, meaning it was not super expensive because that is all that was sold ... Today I doubt many folks would have the money to buy fresh meats....Food sold today without the hormones and antibiotics and chemicals are super expensive...
Really is one of those topics that is never ending..
