When you go food shopping, how much do you really know about the meat you’re buying? Do Your Part and be informed while you shop. To find out how the beef or chicken you’re getting was raised and fed talk to your butcher or check out the label when shopping at a supermarket.

If you’re looking for organic beef, seek out the USDA Organic label. These labels verify that the cattle were given only organic feed and were not injected with with growth hormones or antibiotics. One from the American Grass-Fed Association shows that the beef was mainly given grass. Most cows are given diets high in grain and supplements for faster weight gain.

Another important question is are these meats local? Any good butcher will be able to tell you the farm they’re from. This shop gets their beef from a farm just a few miles away. That keeps money in our community and cuts down on the miles your food travels to get to your table.

Do Your Part the next time you’re serving up meat for dinner. It’s a healthier choice for you, your family, and our planet.
