To feel grossed out by the food production industry

[Mamabear04]

I just feel more and more grossed out by the food production industry. From the antibiotics the ply animals and fish with to the "safe" chemicals they spray our plants with. I just feel more and more that there's no way to eat healthy when what we eat is produced in this way, surely these things are having an impact on our health and maybe even contributing diseases in the general population. I don't have the access to grow my own veg or buy better meat ie from farms or whatever. It just absolutely gives me the ick.

YABU - just get it all down your neck and don't give it another thought

YANBU - I feel this way too

There's are definitely things you can do to minimise these things in your diet.

Only farmed fish will be given antibiotics - so avoid salmon that isn't wild caught, as well as things like trout, sea bass and bream. There are plenty of options that aren't farmed. Shellfish will also be ok, even farmed is fine.

Eat less meat if cost is an issue, but stick to organic.

Look up the dirty dozen fruit and veg, and the clean fifteen - this will give you an idea of what fruit and veg are worth spending that bit extra on to get the organic versions.
