Why Eat Organic Meat Do you eat organic meat? If you answered no to this question, you are just like other millions of Americans who are oblivious to the fact that non-organic meat is not only bad for you, but is also bad for the environment.

Processed Meat Processed Meat In America today our health controversy comes from our eating habits and consumption of what we call the “great American food” (Gillooly, 2011) Although American food is not as tasty or as savory as it once was everything that is behind that delicious food is nothing but bad news for out health. Processed meat has been compromised by the addition of hormones, additives, preservatives, unnatural genetic material or other chemical or heat treatments that alter or destroy the natural healthy enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Processed meats are defined as any meat preserved by smoking, curing, salting, or adding additional chemicals to extend a meat’s shelf life.

Americans have not taken in consideration that processed meats are linked to many illness and need to learn before it’s too late.

One such story talks about a really healthy adult being infected with contaminated ground beef and his experiences with it. That alone shows the effects of unsanitized slaughterhouses, if the cattle are infected when being slaughtered. That single cattle can jeopardize the entire food supply.
Building a Great Sandwich People may wonder why they leave a sub shop one day with a perfect sandwich and leave another day with a sloppy sub. Well to answer that question it is because that the sandwich artist either did not care or had not been trained well. There are certain things a sandwich artist has to do in order to prepare a beautiful and neat sandwich. First they must be able to memorize cutting the bread because if the bread is not cut correctly then the sub will be messed up.

The cure is usually just salt if you are outdoors hunting, but usually with more preparation it is commonly a mixture of salt, sometimes sugar, spices, other seasonings, and other additives. Salt is important because it inhibits the growth of the bacteria that causes severe sickness, as well as being the primary ingredient of a cure. A dry cure could be applied by rubbing the meat with the mixture of packing the food in a container of the cure mix and letting it sit for several days or weeks. There is no record of whether Chris knew he had to cure the meat before trying to smoke it, and even if he did he might not have had any salt or he might not have wanted to wait for days while the meat cured. This is a grave mistake.
They all end up in the same ruling that its the consumers choice to enter a fast food establishment and consume their products. But it is evident that fast food corporations have caused a widespread epidemic within the U.S from their many caused negative effects. This is why society blames and accuses these fast food companies for being responsible for the ongoing obesity crisis, but even though their food is not considered of good nutrition, in the end it’s not fast food companies forcing their customers to consume their products, its free will of society.

Hepatitis A is mostly found in countries with poor sanitary and hygienic conditions.Countries with economies in transition and some regions of industrialized countries where sanitary conditions are sub-standard are highly affected. Where water isn’t filtered and food isn’t checked like it is here in America. What is an example of a real life outbreak of this foodborne illness in the United States?
French fries are very high in carbohydrates; consuming an excessive amount is not healthy because it can lead to obesity. Another problem with eating too many French fries is that they are loaded with salt; excess sodium consumption can contribute to high blood pressure, which can eventually lead to stoke or kidney failure. There are some chemical additives added to enhance flavor and color, and to increase the product’s shelf life; all this has an adverse effect on human health. However, if the potatoes which are the base ingredients of French fries are baked, and eaten without adding excess cheese, bacon, sour cream, butter or any other condiments, they can be considered to be highly nutritious. Doughnuts contain a large amount of sugar.
