[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 659054, member: 7233"] We can't afford to eat every single thing organic, nor does it seem necessary, but we eat our own beef, keep a big garden, and plan to get chickens eventually - for lots of reasons including food safety. I don't worry about eating one animal or one meal containing added hormones and/or antibiotics but I wonder about the cumulative effects of consuming minuscule amounts over long periods of time - not just talking about beef, but also poultry, pork, eggs, milk. Even if the effects are minor, very small changes can produce significant effects over time. Don't know if MRSA is a big deal where you guys live, but I've heard of way too many cases first and second hand, most recently a friend's friend, a military mom and her child who both got it and now have large scars where they had to have chunks of flesh removed?! And do you all wonder why young girls are getting breasts and starting their periods so much earlier now? I think some of it can be attributed to obesity, but I have to also wonder if maybe tiny amounts of hormones in food are contributing over time? Whatever is causing it, man have we effed things up.
