Hormone free meat!!!!!! well...... not really.

Hormones in food - Antibiotic food

Now a days with every agri business claiming one thing after another, the hormone issue is one fraught with confusion. While the government has acknowledged the rBST growth hormone to be of concern, they fail to recognize the implications of other so called "natural" growth hormones used and still  taught to farmers today. The most humorous blogs/websites are put up by the government, filled with hypocritical statements like

there has been no evidence that has shown that animals treated with growth hormones are a threat to human health. 

And on the same page write 

Reducing exposure with your food intake

Although growth hormones and antibiotics are considered safe for food production in Canada, consider the following tips to reduce your exposure to these additives:

• Organic foods have fewer traces of antibiotics than non-organic foods.
• Since beef cattle are the only animals that contains growth hormones, consider choosing organic beef instead of conventional beef when you can.
• Thoroughly wash all vegetables and fruit for thirty seconds under running tap water to minimize the intake of antibiotics.

This is all off of the (eat right ontario) website located here

And if you would like to look at the alberta agriculture and rural development page, you will clearly see what is being used and taught to "farmers", why they use it and there so called "benefits" in production.

Growth hormones in food

Whether or not these "farmers" are required to state they have used "natural" or synthetic hormones is a whole other question. This should be brought up any time you speak to a farmer, be informed, if you feel any type of pull back or beating around the bush, say thank you and walk away. People who practice good farming methods are happy to talk about what they grow with ( I know I am ).

The old time farmers from the industrial age are lost in a world of herbicides/pesticides/ growth hormones/antibiotics/ and petroleum. IMO This should not be called farming, this is a disgrace to the name. All it has done is wrecked our land, seeds and health, giving rise to corporations like Monsanto and Dow chemical. 

Farmers??  you don't deserve the name.

This post will be more towards growth hormones with a follow up on antibiotic use.

( Salmon disease in Canada ) If you love your country you should watch this. Canada's Government is corrupt and out of control.

Salmon confidential - Canada fish disease

This video is astounding. I use to think we had a well run government, but the older I get, the more I realize/see the thriving corruption that envelops this great country, and the only reason we aren't called on it is because globally, we are known as kind, polite and lets be honest,
in most american eyes -NOBODIES- and out of sight.
This is how we have gotten away with this for so long, no one thinks the Canadians are up to something or  lying .
Well my friends, your sadly mistaken.
I will post all the corrupt acts on this blog to further spread the news about what's happening here, in hopes people will see it and pass it on. If after you read my posts, research and find the same, please pass on this info, I don't care if you plagiarize this page, word for word, give me credit? - don't care.  I just want people to see/understand what's going on here. We need to wake up to the bullshit.

We have such a beautiful country, shame is, its so poorly run that if we allow this to continue it will no longer be beautiful,
and with our government silencing scientists/ covering up health issues / outbreaks/
you wont know what's wrong till its in your own backyard. I believe we need to try a form of direct democracy, having a fast acting way to correct issues immediately. Giving the people a choice to vote instantaneously on topics effecting us now, providing corruption no time to formulate, but if it does, we have a way to see it and vote on it before it gets on out hand. Our court system is just as flawed as our political system by the way, but thats another story.

Im no longer voting , as I no longer believe in the way this country works or the candidates
running. I challenge anyone to find merit in picking a politician of lesser evil. Evil is still evil no matter which way you pick it. Im not saying all politicians are evil, just 90% and the other side that is good is muzzled in fear of repercussions. Until I see someone worth voting for
( and I follow politics, let me tell you )
I refuse to cast my ballet for people I don't trust/ don't carry the same views of (Pot, abortion, GMO,) or play part in a system thats broken. And I've heard the backlashers say, you need to work the system to get change, bullocks!, In order to change the system to a form of direct democracy, it would mean many politicians/law makers/ bribers/ etc, would lose there money and power. To do this, well there is only one way in my opinion, and it doesn't involve voting
( I'll leave it at that ).

The pot is brewing politicians, If you dont fix it now, I and many Canadians would happily get rid of all'you.

Heres the video of what's going on with our salmon, please pass it on, especially over seas.

and if your a fishermen, theres that old saying, your only as good as the company you keep,
Your fish farming friends are being lumped into your category and lets be honest, most of you over fish or have decimating fishing tactics that will bring your whole industry down. Get mad are your cohorts for doing this, your livelihoods are at stake.
