Negative reaction to beef?
#11
I'm sure it's what is being fed and given to the cattle. i stopped buying beef at King Soopers because it is all tough. but my hubby still had to have some so i got a bit from Omaha Steaks. expensive but good. although i think when we run out this time, no more. myhubby hardly eats anything these days and it's upsetting to throw away expensive steak!

There's something out there that's working against us. What do you think?
Another friend switched to organic foods after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She now gets pretty nasty reactions whenever she is put in a situation where only "regular" food items are available.
I find I can't eat regular, store bought pork anymore. It has a really nasty after-taste and I have stopped buying it after watching the videos on how the pigs are raised.

My DH works at the U here. As part of their AG program, they raise, and then sell both pork and lamb. The U staff gets first dibs, so we bought a side of pork, and a whole lamb. So much nicer meat than commercial!!!
The only thing I miss of beef, is a good stew now and again. I have found that buffalo is similar enough in flavour to beef to make a good stew, and it doesn't upset my stomach. Our local butcher shop gets an excellent supply. Plus, I can also make a good Irish stew with the lamb. :)
We mostly eat lots of chicken and fish, with a bit of pork or lamb thrown in for a change. Our portion sizes are also much smaller than a few years ago. ;) Lots more veggies now.

My house is infested with allergies. DH is allergic to shellfish and "something" else that he will not be tested to find out what it is. We carry an epi-pen everywhere we go,
Oldest DS is allergic to anything poultry: chicken, turkey, duck but he can eat up to 3 free range eggs without any reaction.
Youngest DS is allergic to food dyes, caramel coloring, Wheat, and can only drink milk from a local dairy that does not allow antibiotics/hormones in their herd. Otherwise he has asthma attacks.
I get migraines in minutes from MSG, Neutra sweet, aspartame, sucralose. Polo cologne sends me to the bathroom to hug the bowl instantly with blinding pain to follow.
I try to make sure to serve a variety of fresh or fresh frozen meats so that we only have red meat 2x a week.

QBeth, there are two things going on with the excess fat around the midsection. One is high fructose corn syrup - there is a direct correlation and the other is the phalates in the plastic, especially if they are microwaved. A teenager with a small waistline is a rarity these days. So many muffin tops. When I researched why, this was what turned up repeatedly.
You think you are phalate free because you use phalate free bottles? Look inside the next can of vegetables you open - guess what the white lining is? (By the way, this is the generic you - nothing personal).
