I agree with you. Also - Organic meats are supposed to be fed non-gmo feed. So that helps a lot with the corn feed that is typically given to chickens. Absolutely. I agree with you.

I like shopping at Whole Foods because of their quality standards for meat http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/meat-program-requirements.phpI appreciate the post - I've had several male friends diagnosed with prostate cancer and they are all big meat-eaters - and due to the scarce nature of naturally raised & processed animals, I tend to thing it's the un-natural diet paired with the added chemicals, antbiotics, preservatives, etc. that are to blame...

They are a common trigger for cluster and migraines. I don't eat the common nitrate foods when out and we buy uncured meats. Thanks for posting this!
