I used to work for an Agricultural Consultants in my late teens/early 20s and I've seen reports of what happens to feedlot cattle (the hormones, antibiotics etc pumped into them to get them "beefed" up ready for market in a very short period of time) - which is why I'll go to the farmers market or to an organic butcher, I prefer farmers markets because I can talk to the owner of the farm about the conditions of their property and their livestock. I love the farmers market in the CBD in brissy every Wednesday, yeh the organic meat is a bit more expensive (and yummier !!!) but yesterday I got to chat to the (cute) farmer who's beef cattle were slaughtered to give me the organic beef I purchased - yes I asked about the slaughtering methods too.

I've just taken out some corn cobs that I bought last week and they're still fresh - and the best thing about getting farm fresh corn is that I can save the cornsilk to make a tea because I know I'll get a bladder problem in about 2 days due to where I am in my cycle.
