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.

We only buy organic meats and poultry, too, for those exact reasons.

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.

I don't care for lean meats @DianneN something just sits wrong with me about how the meat became lean.

@rebelann We go to an organic butcher at home and natural food store that sell organic everything. These places are popping up all over the place. We usually buy extra lean ground beef when I make meatballs or hamburgers.

The truth is we really don't know what it actually in any of our food. I say just eat and be merry and let the cards fall where they may. Thinking about it all too much will just drive you bonkers. :)

Can't really argue with that but in the case of food allergies ya really don't have much of a choice.

I am so jealous @porwest It would be fun to be able to eat what I want without worrying.

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.

I wish all food was organic. That would lower the prices and cut down on all the health risks.

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

I'm not sure about chicken but you're probably right about pork. The only thing I buy that is not organic is the smoked salmon and sardines, those don't cause any issues for me.
