In Marion Nestle's book, Safe Food, she mentions a study which finds that one pound of commercial meat could contain meat from more than 400 cattle.
400 cattle bits!
Also, 70% of antibiotics produced in the US are given to livestock--and then end up leaking into our water supply.
Mmm, would you like a side of meat with your antibiotics and hormones?
Just make sure you know and like the origins of the meat you consume!
These cows were super happy (and maybe they're not around anymore?). Jon and I visited them at Hendrick's Farm and Dairy earlier in the summer.
