Industrial agriculture comes with lots of controversy of late. There are many studies that indicate how harmful it can actually be to consumers. All one needs to do is look around and see the rise in chronic illnesses, likely a result of the use of pesticides, antibiotics, and steroids. It's almost impossible to stay healthy when food sources are questionable. That's why so many are turning to the top organic beef Vermont farmers are providing.

Real food comes from real food sources. Grocery stores and butcher shops provide a variety of meat that is often questionable. While many think that boneless cuts are meant to be more convenient in food preparation, which they can be, they are not the natural way. Often, bones end up being crushed and processed, and finally added to other foods.

Bringing home a cut of meat and knowing where it comes from gives the consumer peace of mind. They know what comes from a farm, that it was allowed to roam free and eat what they are meant to eat. Mad cow disease is a result of animals being fed foods that are not meant to be a part of their menu.

Account is supposed to eat grass so that it can grow at a natural pace and be as healthy as possible. Unfortunately, this is a slow process, but growing naturally will provide all the proteins necessary to those who consume it. Packaged beef is always unknown, as to where it comes from. Consider how, in just as little as one pound of beef, it's not from just one cow, but from hundreds possibly.

Eating organic beef can make all the difference in providing a family the nutrients it needs. There are no steroids or antibiotics injected either into the animals or in their foods to avoid illnesses or disease. Of course, steroids are added to make the animal grow bigger, faster. This in turn, brings a greater profit to farmers.

Basically, they are using science in food, which is very unnatural. The end result is the end user, or the consumer ends up sick. Packaged foods, including meat have unknown ingredients and additives that will affect people slowly but surely, after consuming them for several years. It's not unlikely that they are one cause for the growing numbers of autoimmune diseases and cancers today.

Forcing animals to grow or using science in foods isn't natural. On that note, neither is cooking the way it is today. Opening up a package of prepared frozen foods and heating it is not cooking, and it's not healthy. One doesn't have to look that far back to remember how people actually cooked from scratch.

Obesity has been linked to a number of questionable food sources and yes, even cuts of meat coming from industrial agriculture. For one thing, the fat in such animals is extremely unhealthy, as that is where the chemicals fed to the animals will settle. Consider not too long ago, that obesity was a rare sight, but that's no longer true. Many will argue that organic beef is much more expensive and can't afford it, in comparison to that found on grocer's shelves. The solution is to simply go for the good stuff, even if it means reducing the overall consumption of meat. Instead of eating it three or four times a week, cut it down to just once so that it suits the budget.
