Turkey Time

Thanksgiving.  That smell wafting across America today is coming from the 45 million turkeys being roasted, grilled, or perhaps deep-fried. Turkey is synonymous with Thanksgiving.   And while 99.9% of these will have come from industrial produced turkeys, each year more and more American families are opting out of eating these turkeys. They are instead choosing turkeys raised ethically, fed organic feed, and grown sustainably.

Why?

Certified organic turkeys are fed certified organic feed (no chemicals in the feed or soil); they are never fed any animal by-products, antibiotics, drugs, or growth stimulants.  And this means that when families eat organic turkeys, none of the above stuff is getting into their bodies.  More and more people are realizing that the manmade chemical laden society we live in is affecting our physical, mental and emotional health and the planet.  While it is hard escape chemicals, people are making changes where they have control –what they put into their bodies and what they put on the their bodies.
