[@runechuckie]

Diamond, do you live in the US? First thing I'd suggest doing before anything is checking with your local town/city hall and see if you are even allowed to raise them. Most do allow it, but alot of towns will have very different rules on how many, what the enclosure looks like & how much space you need etc. Just a helpful tip before you get started :)

That's not even close to being true. It's a little closer to being true if you count salt and sugar as preservatives, but while they do act as preservatives, their primary purpose is for flavor, and being a little closer to being true in this case is still far from being true. I'll just name one of countless examples: unsalted potato chips. The only ingredients are potatoes and vegetable oil.

It's scary. When I was trained in food safety, we covered the difference between ground beef and select cuts like steak. We were told that we can eat steak that's cooked to a bloody rare because the outside - which is exposed to bacteria, is cooked, and that the inside isn't exposed in that way, and is therefore safe to eat raw. At the very least training for the culinary trade should be aware of this mechanical tenderizing and how it exposes the inside of the food to contaminants usually found on the outside.

The study from researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego also uncovered some good news¾concentrations of these pollutants have been consistently dropping ..." Actually, the good news is that we don't have to eat fish. I get my omega 3 from flax seeds, walnuts, seaweed, and to be sure I get enough, a DHA supplement made from algae.

[@newageeducation5908]

this show is the best example how different opinions are brought to truth with the facts, but comes with subtle sense of no solutions to the psuedo problems explained, means its a kind of fearmongering to last consumer who doesn't care and even if cared businesses won't change as to bring such change there will be costs and the customers do not want to pay more, because they don't have more.

[@mistahmike7]

Chicken is to be washed with vinegar or lemon or salt or a combination of. Everything it touched and the surrounding area is to then be thoroughly scrubbed with bleach, soap, and warm-hot water. Also thoroughly SEASON and cook the chicken properly. Just how I grew up.. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@celiaholmes6449]

I blame the government because its the watch dog for the people.

[@debeerbug2171]

Governments only watch out for themselves! The people are just a statistic to the government! The only people watching out for us is ourselves!

[@JustEndah]

Celia, yes!

[@diemutha666]

Celia,govt is in bed with the meat barons,sugar daddies and big pharma.Do you really think the govt has your back when they're making profits from the public's ill health?There's more money in keeping the population sick.These days it's kids who are targeted to consume food-like products only to become future customers of the pharmaceutical companies.Do you really think that a bunch of strangers have your best interests at heart when they can easily profit from the misery of others?

I've been wanting to become a vegetarian, this has really convinced me that I should.

[@Rich-yj4ub]

Yep! E Coli is a better killer. Eat up!

[@user-je7pp2wg3m]

Do it. I haven't eaten meat in about 5 years and I am healthy

[@hellboundrubber4448]

Is that before or after they pee on your Bananas on the Boat trip to Canada?

[@blessedlady734]

That's while God tell us to bless our food before we eat it the only safe way to go. Have faith in God

[@mosesyang4222]

Me: This is horrible I want natural, organic, unprocessed foods! Down with the government! Stores: okay, natural, unprocessed, organic chicken...that'll be $50/lb Me: on second thought the processed chicken $2/lb would be great!

[@AlyssaSoftPaw]

you can raise and slaughter your own chickens for like 10dollars in total... we do it.

[@mosesyang4222]

Luna Kurosaki doesn't work if you live in the cities or in an area that doesn't allow farm animals

[@AlyssaSoftPaw]

Moses Yang you are right on that , but its still better to know what you're eating.

[@ig33ku]

Today's gen can't bare the thought of slitting a chicken's throat but happily eats a bucket of fried fast food chicken. Go figure eh.

[@synestria1]

+Luna Kurosaki (Liz) trying to find the yt video of a lady that humanely"harvests" her birds. Really interesting. I'll link it if I find it.

[@melaniemarie4375]

I just started binge watching these Canadian shows today , and so far I learned Canada’s a scary place 🤣💀🤦🏻‍♀️

[@dreamrabbits5072]

The sad thing about that is your country is probably worse hah.

[@Bigmomma1224]

Very informative information. Thanks for sharing this with us. This has helped me so much.

[@beckiehummelson4728]

I don't even live in Canada, (*though I have lots of relatives migrated there) but I do really enjoy watching CBC's Marketplace.

[@ewewerwe4342]

Good thing I'm poor, can't afford to eat those crap anyway.

[@tl11rj7x]

lmao

[@therealjesus5291]

It's usually the crap food that's the least expensive.

[@DeborahWav]

I don't agree, I cut my budget in half when i became vegan ;) At least i don't have to worry about all these problems linked to meat consumption.

[@lemonbear77]

+DeborahWav You just have stinkier farts.

[@RobertGenito]

+lemon fish at least it doesn't smell like putrefied, fermented flesh....

[@tomdobyns2062]

My big complaint in the USA, is that meat, especially chicken, doesn't keep well. It is older than the label says. I've noticed that sea food, especially shrimp, is labeled as wild caught when it is farm raised in asia. There's a big difference. The best seafood comes from the local sea food store or off the boat. Shrimp have to be 3 days old before it can be peeled. Fish that have the slime washed off will not keep as it contains its own natural antibiotic. Home grown by a small local farm is safer, fresher, and tastes better. No preservatives. It costs more, but there is a reason. Oh, and GOD didn't change egg sizes, the USDA did. GMO produces more, but that is the only good thing about it. Ask if the farmer has "heritage brands". Veggies and produce from California is bred to ship and store well.

[@JT-un7dc]

A lot of that meat is glued together with some product called meat glue. They have multiple different pieces of meat from different animals glued together. Also, different bacteria glued into the meat. It's banned in most countries with standardized Healthcare.

[@AfterMidnightTales]

When I want to go on a strong solid diet I watch these videos ....does the job fantastic

[@deniseclepper1436]

Lobbyists have their greedy little fish hands in the cbc health pockets too.

[@golddie8]

Smh damn. Now you don't know what your ingesting.

[@rlockwood88]

People aren't dying from meat-borne food borne illnesses left and right. The majority of food borne illness is from vegetables and fruit (aka fresh produce). This is at least true in the US.

[@skyflier8955]

I'm just gonna go out with my gun so I know what I'm getting to eat.

[@programmingcafe7571]

XD

[@DarkAlice]

Except you don't know what kind of chemicals the animals around you are ingesting from the groundwater.

[@skyflier8955]

Pokémon Trainer I didn't know animals could operate a drill to reach groundwater.

[@programmingcafe7571]

+Marc Hess, Jr that not what he ment, but he's wrong

[@DarkAlice]

Marc Hess, Jr I didn't know you need a drill to eat grass

[@watchmankr2216]

All that “healthy” food micro managing and not one veggie on the dinner plate?! 🤔😂🥴

[@Player_Review]

I only eat wild vegetables, because farm grown vegetables are bred in inhumane conditions.

[@jaymee1799]

lol

[@soulsabr4472]

I need to introduce you to a few PETA members. I'd LOVE to see you screw their world up.

[@RONANAWAY]

[@averyt6521]

In the " Pumped Beef " ,as it's called ,is mostly sold for restaurants' and Gov't commissaries because of the cheaper grade. There are a few meat markets that sell pumped beef but rarely in big chain stores. There more streaked in Big Chain stores.

[@patriciaferguson7827]

We still have meat market on 3av and 143st in the Bronx NY very clean and the meat is fresh. Come check it out

[@dannyssj6565]

I was informed by a colleague that worked for Parks Canada that they take farmed fish and put them into the ocean. So, we are technically buying farmed fish even though it's labelled Wild Salmon

[@valeriestorm3412]

and now with Japan's nuclear disaster Pacific salmon are no longer safe.

[@basillah7650]

That is for all fish in the ocean it happened in 2011 and still being pumped into the ocean.

[@twobefree3262]

I was laughed at for years by some because I stop to Bless my food no matter where I am. Now, I'm 63, and I don't need any medication for anything. The Blessing sanctifies the food for your nourishment and health. This is a Bible promise. So, when I realized the problems with our food many years ago, I deliberately prayed over my food even MORE. It's paying off for me. You can always trust GOD for HIS Word.🙏

[@annamaccow7763]

Can you come here and do the same thing in our Meat markets, in the United States? Especially the meat stores.

[@FBGmoneh]

did she just grab a cauliflower and not put it in a bag... well there you go there is your problem

[@jessd956]

😁

[@chownful]

that's why you wash it at home...

[@KnockedupNout]

I don't bother with bags unless needed to contain (ie cherries, brussel sprouts...) because the bags just bring in more germs. The purchased items already have been touched by everyone after coughing and pooping. I wash it all with Dawn and Vinegar.

[@angelafigueroa260]

FBGmoneh lmaoooo

[@theuglykwan]

Do they provide paper bags?

[@gabrielg7793]

This planet sucks. I want out! everything is killing us.

[@Jess-fv2tg]

Gisselle Gomez it's not the planet that's killing us... Its Us!!! But we have choices as to what we eat.. We basically have to go back to the old days and grow our own food...

[@shelleysundberg6938]

Cultured Celery Extract is a concentrate prepared from celery. The extracts come in powder or liquid and are commonly used as a food preservative in “natural” deli meats instead of chemical nitrites because celery extracts are nitrites. The truth therefore, is that celery extracts are not that natural. Nitrites are found naturally in sea salt and in many vegetables like spinach, beets and celery. But unlike ingesting small amounts of nitrites that occur in vegetables, celery extracts are created in a lab when a concentrated version of the plant’s juice is combined with bacterial cultures.
