Industrial meat comes with antibiotics and endocrine disruptors

'This new research does much to dispel any remaining illusions people may have about the connection between what they eat and their exposure to poisons in the environment. Will it cause the American Meat Institute to reconsider its objection to restricting sub-therapeutic doses for livestock, or join with reformers to get endocrine disruptors out of food packaging? Probably not anytime soon. But you don't have to become a vegetarian to avoid all this -- you just need to avoid industrial meat. Stick with organically certified meat (the guidelines restrict the use of antibiotics) or at a minimum, choose meat labeled "antibiotic-free" and ask your grocer to use "phthalate-free" packaging.'
