free-range meats & olive oil

[Guest guest]

Hi O,

We can easily get free-range grass-fed beef and bison here in

Alberta, Canada.

Even though conventional meats do contain bad stuff, it is better to

eat them than to avoid them because the nutrients are so important,

and IF you obtain the proper nutrients in beef, for example, along

with good fats your body is perfectly capable of eliminating the bad

stuff. Of course the nutrients are not as valuable, but something is

better than nothing.

As far as extra virgin olive oil is concerned you do pay for what you

get - it must be cold or expeller pressed, and in very dark bottles;

the best is yellow in color. I haven't found any in regular grocery

stores which are good so I only buy it from my health store.

> I've never seen a liverwurst made out of free-range meat (anyone

seen this).....conventional bred liverwurst you buy is going to be

loaded with all the crap that comes with a typical factory farm

reared cow with an unhealthy liver .

> I notice people here seem to talk about meat without mentioning

if its true free range here ...is this just the accepted convention &

everyone understands that what is being talked about is free range or

what?..just so I will know in future.

>

> Personally I dont eat much meat & I dont eat liver at

all ...because I've not been able to find a reliable free range

supplier where I am ...

> I tend too eat more fish ...(be aware though that 90% of fresh

fish sold in Australian supermarkets is farm reared..USA probably the

same) & factory fish are pumped full of all of the same crap,

commercially raise chicken,cows, sheep & pigs etc are..I can get

wild sardines though for eg which are a good oily fish

> Is free range meat widely available in the USA in supermarkets

too or what ?...

> Being a natural skeptic I am always a little suss when

popular/trendy/healthy products become suddenly much more freely

available .

> An example is extra virgin cold pressed olive oil which 15 - 20

yrs ago started to become popular when cable TV introduced hundreds

of lifestyle cooking chefs & nutritionists all over the world

extolling the virtues of this product & so all the housewives wanted

it ...

> Now there is magically more extravirgin olive oil sold in

supermarkets around the world than what is produced ...

>

> Often Cheaper or out of date oil from many inferior producers

around Europe is dumped on the market , then repackaged as

extravirgin from Spain or Italy & exported.

>

> One of the few guaranteed free range meats which is also cheap

and available in Australia is kangaroo meat ...but unfortunately

kangaroo meat is very low fat..what fat there is is high quality

though though.
