It's what they don't say on today's labels we need to worry about. Organic potato chips, say "all natural, no chemicals," yet may have bad oils, salt ... but, organic what? This adding drugs just isn't happening only in Tyson meats...all it's tainted meats; (beef, pork, chichen and fish.) This would include all dairy from these cattle, double whammy and wash it all down with sugars.
Let's go back to basic foods. Here is a meat that just before it put in the holding pen are shot with a weight gain steroid which is passed onto you. It doesn't have time to get out of the cow but is in the meat you just ate that's causing major WEIGHT problems today and you may not know why that gain came about, however other countries don't use Tyson's animals.
Surprising many in the industry, Tyson sent out letters to cattle feeders saying that as of Sept. 6, the company would no longer buy animals that had been treated with Zilmax, 'a drug that bulks up cattle by as much as 30 pounds just before slaughter. Tyson controls 26 percent of the U.S. beef supply and is the first company in the industry to make this change.
A letter cited recent reports of cattle being delivered for processing that couldn't walk or move. The question is how much of this is pass onto our health problms today. It's not so easy to get back out of the cattle once in. So, how many cattle are now carrying this drug.
"We do not know the specific cause of these problems, but some animal health experts have suggested that the use of the feed supplement Zilmax, also known as zilpaterol, is one possible cause," the letter said, adding that that it wasn't a food safety issue. (Is obesity in humans?)
Zilmax, approved by the FDA for use in livestock, is a beta-agonist, and acts as a steroid, turning fat into muscle. As the Chronicle of Higher Education reported in 2012, the drug can make meat tough and tasteless. But new reports have surfaced recently suggesting that cattle are growing so large – up to 1,300 pounds — that they can't walk. Feedstuffs
China, Russia and many countries in the European Union have banned the use of these drugs "It's unfortunate that it takes other countries having good standards to make an improvement in the U.S. marketplace," Who has the worst obesity problem of all the countries?
This is also animal abuse!
Go vegetarian...and save the animal...whenever possible.
