I Am Watching You!

Do you ever get the feeling you are being watched?  Look around.  Do you see anything?  This is what I saw following me!  Sometimes we can't see anything.  Could that be our conscious?  Do we know deep down what we are doing is not the right thing, but are doing it anyway and looking over our shoulders as a result?

I have read many reports lately where some are grouping all farmers in one large group.  They are saying if one farmer does this than they all must do this.  Really?  If one person who drives a car drives a certain way do all people that drive a car drive that way?

I will admit there are farmers whom do not take the best care of their animals, but that does NOT mean that we are all that way.  Some of us go out of our way to ensure that our animals are well cared for daily.  After all, they are our livelihood.  If we do not give them proper nutrition, they will not grow like they should and we will earn less money.  I don't know very many people who are willing to knowingly lower their income through conscious decisions they make.  Do you?

Most of us eat the same food that we put into the stores for you to eat.  Do you would we willingly and knowingly feed our own families food that was unsafe?  I wouldn't!  I have seen the recent news reports on what they are terming 'pink slime'.  So, instead of taking this at face value, I did my research.  It turns out that the product that is 'added' to hamburger is actually beef!  It is beef that has been separated from fat through advanced technology.  This beef that is separated from the fat is NOT been swept off of the floor or taken out of the unusable piles.  It was set aside purposefully to be separated and used.  This process of separation allows us to get approximately 10% more beef from every animal.  With this additional 10% per animal, we can keep beef prices down and have to raise fewer animals to feed the public.  After these reports have aired, many stores have stated that they will quit selling hamburger that contains this technologically separated beef.  Watch for hamburger prices in these stores to rise because they will not be able to get as much out of each animal and will therefore have to purchase more animals raising their costs.  This rise in costs will get passed on to the consumers.

Before you take the word of any research study, please do your own research about who do it and what their purpose was.

Until next time,  remember.......Beef, It's What's for Dinner!
