“Clean ingredients” YES! If they exist in regular grocery stores. Meats are full of hormones & antibiotics. Fresh vegetables & fruits were probably grown in soils treated w/ pesticides. So unless you have a personal garden you are playing Russian roulette.

Pessimist or pesticides, or both.

Yes about the organic garden and fruit trees. I don't use any chemicals on my property. I buy organic everything, and cook at home. That's about the best one can do. It's worked for me.

In addition, your own well without treated water as in the cities and towns.

Fruits and vegetables are also sprayed with Kill Gates product, Apeel to make them last longer on the shelf.

Canola oil is used as a preservative as well.

I've been trying to avoid it entirely, but it's in just about anything that comes out of a food factory.

We have lots of farmer's markets around here and a local beef rancher.

Where I live, it’s possible to sign up for a CSA (community sourced agriculture) for veggies, and more local small farmers are raising grass fed non antibiotic beef and selling it at farmers markets or through local social media.

In Texas, I could buy grass fed / non antibiotic beef, pork, and chicken from a company that took orders on the internet and drove a circuit: Dallas/ Houston/San Antonio/ Austin monthly to deliver it.

Healthy food is out there but you need to talk to people and spread the word yourself so it becomes profitable for the vendors.

Commercially, Costco has wild caught fish, grass fed meat etc. They are trustworthy and inspect the vendors.

A good source for meat products is Wild Pastures. All products are grass fed without pesticides, hormones etc. I have been using their products for at least a year .

The chicken is amazing! The beef is top quality.

I got a case of delish canned sockeye salmon from the Alaska Gold Company. They have king salmon too.

. . . About 45-50 years ago my MIL was allergic to beef ; her tongue would swell up so that she could hardly breath.

They raised pasture fed cattle and sold it to market yet bought their meat from the supermarket.

Then one day they decided to give each adult child a side of beef from their own stock, and they put some in their freezer as well.

My MIL ate some and guess what? - - -

NO ALLERGIC REACTION to their grass fed beef. That true story is very telling indeed.

(She turned 100 years old on September 25th of this year.)
