Zaycon Foods Ground Beef

Zaycon Foods is doing ground beef in Mesa and Chandler. Click Here to order! Its a little more pricey than what you can get in the grocery store but it is a lot healthier. No added steroids or hormones. Here is the information from their website for the ground beef. *No chemicals, additives or water added to meat during processing *100% raised in the USA *Highest in food safety standards *No antibiotics or steroids The only thing I wish is that it was grass-fed cattle. It does say they hope to offer grass-fed soon. Still it is way better than what is in the store. The no antibiotics or steroids is huge. In the book "Real Food" by Nina Planck she has an entire chapter dedicated to real meat. In the chapter she addresses the over-use of antibiotics and steroids. A quote about steroids states, "Excess estrogen is linked to reproductive cancers including breast, prostate, and testicular cancer, and since 1950, such cancers have risen sharply." She goes on to say that breast cancer is up 55%, testicular 120%, and prostate 230%. This book is a great book. I highly recommend it. You can get it on amazon.com. I am excited about this chance to get some healthier beef for my family. I have two growing boys that will probably gobble it up. ;)
