Week 22 Get Your Meats Right

Every year there is an increase in consumers demanding GMO free meats. Meaning the animals are never fed GMO grains. We are bombarded with “experts” telling us that what animals eat has no effect on our health when we eat that meat, but I along with many other people don’t believe that lie anymore. There are too many stories of healing out there. Our health has improved significantly over the years as we have slowly changed our diet. I’m close to healing my last health issue that I have had since I was little. I thought I would have to suffer with it for the rest of my life. I can only say praise the Lord for opening our eyes! If you dig enough you will find so much truth that it will shock you. Here is one example of the fraud from the Weston Price Foundation.

Memos made public from a lawsuit reveal that the consensus among FDA scientists in the early 1990s was that GMOs were inherently unsafe and could lead to toxins, allergens, new diseases and nutritional problems. They urged their superiors to require long-term safety studies before any GM foods were allowed on the market. But the political appointee in charge of FDA policy was the former attorney of the biotech giant Monsanto and later the company’s vice president. The scientists’ warnings were ignored and today the FDA does not require a single safety study on GM foods.

What an animal eats will affect our health when we eat the meat from that animal. How the animal is raised will determine how much nutrition will be in that meat such as vitamins and minerals, how digestible it will be, the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fats, how much cancer fighting CLA it will have, etc. What it’s fed, along with the environment it’s raised in, will determine the amount of toxins and bacteria it will contain as well.

A majority of the meat for sale in this country has been fed GMO grains. I have visited with numerous people that have reported horrible or mild effects from eating confinement animals raised on GMO feed. They realized this only after switching to organic/regenerative meats. We have several customers that patronize us because of allergy or health issues, and it’s so rewarding when I get a phone call or an email from a person telling me that they can eat our meat without allergy or health issues. I really focus on this, and the health benefits that our own family has observed, when we have challenges on our farm. We love your stories, please keep them coming! This week I would continue to source pasture raised organic/regenerative meats.

Feel free to leave a comment if you have a story share. Your testimony could open the eyes of someone struggling with a health issue that isn’t sure if sourcing good quality meats is really worth the time and extra money.

Our family has learned to slow down, make careful observations of what heals/damages, get rid of the distractions, take a little more time preparing our food, and most importantly to seek the Lord’s wisdom. It’s a daily struggle and it never goes perfectly, but we just keep trying to do the best we can. If you are working toward a more traditional, clean, whole foods diet, and would like to take small steps to get there, then you are at the right place. Week one was get your salt right, week 2 was get your sleep right, weeks 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were get your fats right, we had several weeks about seasonings and herbs, some important discussion about natural sweeteners, talked about Forgiveness, hopefully we got our eggs right, and now we will be getting our meats right. Join us next Tuesday for Get Your . . . Right.
