We just cane across an article in Plenty expressing a belief we’ve held for some time: the “highest quality, healthiest meat” is “sustainably and humanely produced.” We couldn’t agree more that, “Neither standard is remotely approached in conventional animal factory farms, also known as concentrated feeding operations (CAFOs).”
Summer grilling only gets better when sustainable meat is on the menu, and as the Plenty article points out:
Most conventional U.S. beef cattle are given antibiotics, which contribute to drug-resistant bacteria in people, and growth hormones, which are being studied for possible links to cancer. The air and water pollution caused by CAFO manure lagoons is unhealthy for humans and aquatic creatures alike.
The article includes some terrific clarification of terms and certifications to help American consumers who want to purchase sustainable meat for their families.
