Hormônios do crescimento no frango que v. come: CUIDADO!

Here is some other information that may ruffle your feathers - a chicken's life isn't so clucky either. Chickens live in over crowed pens and battery cages where the windows are often blacked out and they have no access to sunlight. They can only walk a few steps at a time before having to collapse down, a result of their bodies having grown too fast for the ligaments and tendons in their legs. This is all due to the growth hormones they are fed to grow them as fast as possible so they end up in your McChicken burger in a timely manner.

Now I'm by no means a vegetarian. I eat chicken like it's going out of fashion and if you were to come over to my place on any given day you would be excused for thinking you were thrust into a Julia Child cooking segment...although I'm not as tall and i think she may have better hair. But the point is, there is no vision in my future of ever giving up meat of any sort. Now I, like everyone, had heard about how animals destined for my dinner plate are bulk raised by manufactures, but seeing it just put it in a different perspective.
You may think this post is a little off topic for a Health and Fitness Blog, but it isn't, and let me tell you why. Whilst we all adopt healthy eating habits for various reasons these days, from vanity to feeling better, or just because we think we should, its not just a matter of calories and grams of fat anymore. It's about the quality of food that you put in your mouth. There is no point in trying to eat healthy if your food is laden with artificial ingredients like hormones and pesticides. Would you prefer to eat a piece of chicken that was raised humanely and has come to you void of additives? Or would you like your value meal with a side of added hormones that have been known to cause cancer and various other health issues?

People sometimes shrug this subject off because they believe its too big for them to make a change, buying organic is too expensive (and it is in some cases) and they simply don't know what to look for. But there are a few small changes you can make that wont disrupt your current way of living, and will leave you feeling better and living healthier   (do blog Healthy boy)
