I seem to be guilty of America-centrism again, my apologies.
I should clarify that my point has less to do with hormones specifically and more about how this comment section is applying a double standard of healthiness to meat alternatives generally. When it comes to industrial meat production if it ain’t one thing it’s another: feed quality/chemicals, handling/sale of diseased meat, animal waste on food, antibiotic use, etc.
It is also worth noting that as we speak the UK seems to be reconsidering it’s ban of hormones in meat as part of Brexit with pressure from the US.
- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoYes, I can see the double standards, too. There's no need to apologise though, I am not trying to make you feel guilty. Industrial meat production is shameful, cruel, harmful to health and the environment and it should absolutely be replaced with something else- but that something else can't be another food industry stuffing us full of over-processed, well, shit (apologies - but this is really the best way to say what I mean). >> It is also worth noting that as we speak the UK seems to be reconsidering it’s ban of hormones in meat as part of Brexit with pressure from the US. Unfortunately, yes.
