Meat Glue
O.K. here I go again on the topic of food and what is being done to it-that you may not know or really don’t want to know. I want to know so that I can choose the healthiest foods that are available.
In some of my other blogs I talked about genetically modified seeds, grains, and food. I also talked about sewer sludge being dumped on the crops. Below is an overview of those blogs. Now to add to the list of disgusting things people are doing to food-mainly for profit-with no cares about how it affects fellow human beings
Genetically modified plants have toxins that are built into the plant itself through genes, that work as a bio-pesticide, toxic to insects and other pests. Blood tests show that in this form, those toxins show up in 100% of pregnant women and their fetuses!
We can see evidence of the toxic effects by even just consuming animals who eat GM feed. Yet the USDA continues to flash green lights for GM crop approvals considering the crops safe for animals, people, and children in the womb.
Municiple governments across the U.S. are trying to convince farmers that municipal wastewater from sewage plants-SLUDGE- can magically transform into “organic fertilizer”. Ha! If you are not eating organic-YOU are eating sludge. Organic certification and inspections DO NOT include the use of sludge as a fertilizer at organic farms. At least you’ll know what you aren’t eating. Don’t believe when they??? say there’s no difference between conventional and organic foods. Sewage sludge is a form of hazardous waste and needs to be contained and isolated as such.
California proposition 65 (P65) requires the listing of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Chemicals known to the SFPUC that are in San Francisco sewage sludge that are also found on the California P65 list include:
Mercury – Molybdenum – Cobalt – Antimony Chromium – Dibenzofurans – Naphthalene – 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (Dbcp) – Di (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (Dehp) – Tcdd Equivalents (Dioxins) Such As Octachlorodibenzo-P-Dioxins (Ocdd)
MEAT GLUE
Recently in the news is another concern on how our food is treated. Meat glue is being used to stick together scraps of meat to re-sell as prime cuts. OMG!! This practiced is banned overseas but not in the U.S.
They take cuts of meat-any meat-even fish-that are too small to sell as a prime cut, and glue it together to look like a prime cut, and then re-sell the meat at top price. The amazing thing about all this is that NO ONE can tell that the meat is glued-not even a butcher!
When they use this substance on the meat the butchers wear a mask. It is dangerous to breath. Part of this substance contains the blood plasma from pigs and cattle-a coagulant. If the meat is not cooked enough a person may get food poisoning. The amount of bacteria is 100 times higher than in untreated meat. Restaurants are the biggest buyers of this kind of meat.
Meat glue is not included in the labeling laws, and the producers are certainly not going to inform you unless they have to. What next? The common practice of injecting cuts of meat with water to add weight and flavor to make the meat edible. How gross.
All I can do is buy organic meat as the producers to not use sludge, GMO grains, meat glue, or injections. If we all bought organic, the prices would certainly come down. I don’t care what the price is, I don’t want to wonder about what I’m eating.
