Is Organic Meats the Only Healthy Meats

Natural Meats are Changing the Game

Ok; everyone is confused because the gurus are all over the place on this one. Anything will kill you but some things are a better fit for long term health. Organic Meats are synonymous with healthy eating; but it is not the absolute best meat from an overall point of view; taking health and taste into consideration. Meat started out as a healthy meat but evolved, we now know that the things that makes any meat unhealthy is the process/environment they are raised in and saturated fat the meat product contains. Natural Meats are meats that do not contain antibiotics or hormones in the growth process. This is a good place to start; don't stop now, that's not all. The reason beef had become affordable at one time is because the industry pumped those babies full of every mutant producing hormone and antibiotic elixir they could come up with. The cattle grew fast and very large. They are fed huge amounts of grain and sent to slaughter just at their peak weight and the owners profit zone. Poultry is probably the most disgusting thing you could imagine when it is produced like this. This is not the way healthy animals were meant to be raised, but it is a way to make a lot of money.

The Things You Dont Know Will Hurt You

      Organic Meats are the next step up from Natural Meats, they are raised in an organic environment. Most organic operations do not employ the methods I mentioned earlier. The best fit for healthy meats is when they are raised in a sustainable environment, this is no small task, since it is not the norm, and you might know meats raised in this environment will cost you a few more nickels. Natural meat products, such as beef are raised in a natural environment without the use of enhancers. These meat products can also be organic which is even better. Free range poultry like chicken and turkey are readily available from natural meat and poultry distributors.

       There are many types of meats that are being raised in this manner, the list goes from the names we are accustomed to hearing like chickens, pork, turkeys to a whole different category called Exotic Meats or Game Meats; this group really goes wild and as far as you can imagine. I will name a few; alligator, ostrich, emu, elk, pheasant..... you get the idea...but what you may not know is how tasty and how healthy many of the meats in this group are. Many carry less saturated fat than beef and are raised in the sustainable fashion, which is a good thing. Exotic Meats are a good change and a good choice.

        If you are a die hard beef monger and wont budge an inch; then what is your foie gras...it could be Grass Fed Beef which has the best of all worlds including the ultimate health and environmental production for beef and the ultimate taste for the true beef lover in you. One small issue is you wont find it at your local bag n wag or that super what ever it is where you need a bag lunch to buy groceries. Grass Fed Steaks are a superior product that is not anywhere near the much lower market standard beef. Grass Fed Steaks are only available at premium meat shops, online Meat Purveyors and Production Meat Ranch operations. Healthy Meats are more plentiful than we might think, just raise you standards a little more a find some Food 4 Good.
