真正自然的动物是草食物动,但是现在美国的家禽都是用基因改良过的CORN喂养的,连鱼都是CORN喂的. 在喂养过程中,给家禽的激素,抗生素等等,都不是注射的(太费事了).而是搀在CORN里喂给家禽的.
CORN也算是蔬菜了. 所以,买肉的时候,只看"100% vegeterian feed"是不够的.因为这个LABEL不排除CORN喂养的可能性,也不排除激素,抗生素的存在. 所以说不一定是真正的ORGANIC
我买肉的时候找的LABEL有这几个:"Grass fed" "Free-range" "No Hormones" "No Antibiotics" "Roaming" "No Additives"
另,还有一个LABEL也很骗人:
"Pastured" does not mean "grassfed"; instead it means raised in pastures. Large scale commercial "pastured" cattle commonly live in small pasture lots and feed from feeders, getting often most of their nutrition from grain and hay or mixtures of molasses and synthetic urea, not from grazing off a pasture. And they may be fed grain with hormones and antibiotics or wear antibiotic ear tags. It is not unusual even for local sources of "pastured" animals to be fed grain mostly or mostly commercial hay.
