Our domesticated cattle, pigs and sheep have been bred to what they are today. This will continue. |
I am not speaking of genetic changes over time...I am talking about pumping drugs and chemicals into our bodies that we did not do 100 years ago. One hundred years ago, when you ate a cow or a chicken or an apple, that is all you were eating. Now you are eating all the drugs and protective chemicals that have been applied whether directly or in the ground. As for wheat, there is a theory which I am not knowledgeable enough to discuss, that offers modified wheat as the culprit behind all the gluten intolerant issues.
