I don't think they should be allowed to do anything to our food that they don't disclose. My son is allergic to blue dye....what if that was added to something? Scary, right? <br /><br />Margarine has freaked me out for awhile now. I didn't know that's why it was invented, I did know that its almost pure chemicals. Wonder what that does to our systems...besides making us fat? <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by....(I love the porch chat!)<br /><br />~L LA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-39217018183726443522013-05-26T18:41:17.074-04:002013-05-26T18:41:17.074-04:00Lisa, I just started following you (I found you th...Lisa, I just started following you (I found you through Patrice's chats at Everyday Rurality). I agree with what you've said, but chicken is just the beginning. Did you know that they add pink dye to farm raised salmon & don't get me started on the "crap" they feed animals to get them fat faster. FYI margarin was actually invented to make chickens fatter faster...Yeah, when our doc told me that I quit buying/eating it all together (lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks afterwards). Like you I'm not into butchering my own meat, but with everything I've been reading & learning, the idea is sounding better & better. I love your blog & can't wait to read more.

I won't eat my own chickens either but I do pay the extra price to buy Fresh chicken from my natural food store to get healthy chicken without the added chemicals.<br /><br />It is sad that those who can't afford the better quality food usually are those who need it the most. I make a point of supplying my grandkids with quality foods for their freezer as often as I can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606087404029591264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-19109488661087578562013-05-26T11:12:20.443-04:002013-05-26T11:12:20.443-04:00OMG really??

Since then I've started going to the butcher shop down the road much more often. He raises all his own chicken and beef. It might be pricier but it's sooo worth the peace of mind. <br /><br />I'm also guilty of letting extra roosters grow out a bit and butchering them myself. They live a much happier life then a store meat chicken I'm sure...then meet a super swift end. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment! I love your blog hop!<br /><br />~LLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-83178100087980254952013-05-26T10:47:14.106-04:002013-05-26T10:47:14.106-04:00Actually, this isn't the worst of it. They don...Actually, this isn't the worst of it. They don't have to tell you that most chicken also goes through a bath water with possible additions such as formaldehyde and chlorine after disemboweling. Plus, they are now admitting that arsenic is added to the chicken feed to make the meat look more appetizing to the consumer.<br /><br />Sorry I can't make you feel better about buying chicken from the store. I now only eat chicken that I raise and butcher myself. I'm not super crazy about buying the Cornish x either, but at least I know what they are eating and what goes in the final product.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing on The Creative HomeAcre!Lisa Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681345431037616090noreply@blogger.com
