Antibiotics lead to faster growth and encourage animals, especially chickens, to put on weight. This has obvious appeal for commercial, factory farmers who are unwilling to invest the time in slower, natural breeding. But the sharp decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics – in human healthcare...
What are halal chickens fed? Halal meat is always produced fromfree range and grass fed animals. Scientific research has proven that grass-fed meat has higher concentrations of antioxidants, vitamins, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 fats, and lower concentrations of saturated fat overall...
Chickens, Cattle, and Hormones, Oh My! Chickens don’t even need growth hormones, steroids, or supplemental estrogen or testosterone of any kind. It’s been illegal for decades. Beef cattle are allowed to be treated with hormones (6 of them, 3 natural, 3 synthetic), but that can’t ...
Egg-laying chickens are perhaps the most abused of all farmed animals. Males born in this industry are killed on their first day of life, since they don’t lay eggs, while females are forced to spend nearly their entire lives in barren wire “battery” cages that are so small, they can...
In fact, these researchers pointed out that conventionally-raisedfeed-lot animals are treated with antibiotics and probiotics to cause weight gain and they wanted to see ifshort-term antibiotic treatment to humans, given after endocarditis, caused weight gain (it did). Anotherreason to bu...
From a commercial standpoint, it’s clear that bees are exploited and mistreated for profit. Much like the industrialised farming of cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, andfish, commercial beekeeping is not a concern for the bees’ wellbeing, and most folks would agree that mass-scale honey is not...
Like battery farmed chickens, the more human resources spent on breeding, the less profitable. So dog farmers industrialise the process to the point of horrendous exploitation. Puppies are kept in small cages living in their filth, with no play, no exercise, little light and virtually no human...
s Rosie was the first USDA certified organic chicken brand. Rosie was “never administered antibiotics,” she was fed an “organic vegetarian diet with no GMOs” and she was raised “free range.” There are few standards of purity higher than “reared without antibiotics on an organic ...
Nowadays, milking cows are given antibiotics and most are also injected with a genetically engineered form of bovine growth hormone (rBGH). A man-made or synthetic hormone used to artificially increase milk production, rBGH also increases blood levels of the insulin-growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in ...
Vitamin E has been found to be an equally good preservative, with non of the side effects of BHT, so it seems absurd that we are continuing to be force-fed a chemical that is such cause for concern. This is demonstrated in a 1993 German study by Kappus, which compared the toxicology ...
