What to eat? What not to eat?
Hello everybody,
While my nutritional program centers around lots of vegetables and fruits, mostly raw, i also enjoy having some meat, fish, eggs and perhaps chicken as a part of my meal plan.
But when i explore the facts, i am not happy to know that mainstream beef contains antibiotics (perhaps i detest this most of all), hormones and other undesirable "ingredients" and fish contains mercury and other poisons. More and more, i would actually like to get away from these foods for these reasons.
As inconvenient and expensive as it would be, if i was to continue eating beef, i would like it hereforth to be free range, grass fed... or perhaps wild game. Is there a way to buy healthy fish and are certain fish more contaminent-free than others? Do chicken and even eggs contain antibiotics or any of the other abominations we find in SAD beef?
If i really wanted to maintain some hard-core protein food in my diet, would eggs be the least contaminated alternative?
As another part of the question, each time we eat beef that contains antibiotics (for example 6 ounces), how much (what %) of our healthy intestinal flora are we extinguishing? I, for one, have put a lot of love into building mine up :).
