Great article. The only thing not touched on is the fact that the entire usda certification process is a scam. The 'grass fed' requirements are vague and written in a way that it make it easy for large cafos to qualify (by design I'm sure). I personally know multiple cattle farmers who were able to get certified even tho their cows have never even seen a pasture. Although she does mention ways to find local farms so that was nice. A lot of great info, thanks for sharing!

Really great article. Why do we somehow think that the chemicals we put into our food supply doesn’t affect us? I just learned that in commercial processing of some of our soy products (soy leichitin-a”safe” additive) it is rinsed in Hexane a totally toxic substance that leaves a very small residual presence— you know, the amount that “won’t hurt you” … I think the health of America speaks much differently to that. I think we’re overloaded with little amounts of toxins that “won’t hurt us.”
