Do you want this in your beef?

Ok, as you know I am not a vegan or vegetarian but anymore I just do not trust beef products.
The way I figure it is if dog treats are being recalled because of thyroid hormones then what makes you think that hormone is not in the beef YOU are eating?
This is why I only buy organic beef, to be organic means they do NOT use hormones nor do those cattle graze on veggies that contain herbicides or pesticides.
Certain lots of these popular dog treats may contain high levels of beef thyroid hormone — and there have already been reports of sickened dogs.

I hope you have an easier time finding organic meats up yonder, here the variety is very limited but I do manage to get things like chicken or ground beef, I don't generally buy the ground beef because it is lean, lean doesn't sound overly healthy to me either.

It is certainly something to think about that is for sure. But I imagine those hormones are in chicken and pork too!!

Better to buy from farmers who love their job, not companies that only care about profits.
When the price is low, you can bet the meat costs less because they used hormones.
I also feel sorry for the dogs, maybe it's better to give them the meat we eat (with no salt or spices), unless they have conditions where they have to follow a strict diet.
Dogs come from wolves, it's not like they can't eat the real thing but cans, in most cases.

Yes, you are correct on both counts. The only problem I would have by giving my dog the meat I prepare is that it would have to be raw to suite her needs and they say feeding a dog raw meat can give them the idea to go back to their wild roots.1 person likes this

No telling what is in the food we eat

It is very important how our foods are sourced. I think contaminants are everywhere.

Since I have a reaction to things like hormones or chemicals I can tell the difference when the beef is not organic so I either stick with chicken and fish or if I really want beef I buy only organic.

Yes, poor pups but do you really think this stuff isn't in the beef they sell at Walmart?
