The Farmers Market
With all the new food contamination's and hormones being used in meat production, the world may be in for a big awakening. but who am i kidding its easier to produce a full grown chicken from an egg in 2 weeks. That doesn't sound natural but that doesn't matter because it's all about supply and demand and making a profit. The biggest problem is with chicken. The hormone levels that are injected in chicken are unhealthy. But, who is gonna start a farm with their busy schedules just to make a few meals a year a little healthier. NOT ME. But, there is an alternative solution. The farmers Market. There are not as many of them as their used to be and their not as convenient as a grocery store(some are) but the provide a plethora of healthy options. usually the Farmers market is a large produce stand but in large cities Like Birmingham or Mobile, Alabama. they are acre's upon acre's of produce, meats, and even other Agricultural materials like sod, flowers and other things and many times the price is almost half of the large scale grocery store. All farmers market products, for the most part, are farmed and raised by the person you will be buying from and shipped from less the 150 miles away and much fresher than grocery stores. The produce is normally less the 1-2 days old when purchased at a farmers market. So if you know where a farmers market is consider yourself lucky and try to support your local farmer.
