[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1301923, member: 9096"] I think the more scams and marketing gimmicks are out there the better... At some point people will have to take the responsibility upon themselves to determine if they approve of the way an animal is raised, fed, slaughtered, etc and it will cut out all the middle-men in the marketing because the only way they can know is if they talk to the person that raised it. What gets me is the major fast food chains claiming their chicken is antibiotic free... Last time I went to buy chick feed it was all medicated, and I don't think any barn that has 50,000 of them would last a day without it.. So evidently the definition of "antibiotic" isn't what I'd think it is, nor what the average consumer thinks it is... Same goes for 'hormone free beef' they're touting... Leaving aside whatever you or I may think of the negative/positive effects of it in our food, considering the VAST majority of calves go through at least 1 sale barn, and probably through several ranches/feed lots, etc.. who's to say they didn't get Ralgro at branding time? It's ALL bullchit and people fall for it.. perhaps they'll wake up someday and see they've been duped. [/QUOTE]
