This is an incredible article. Food makers are feeding you poison. Yet another reason to live one's life by this mantra: Don't look at what people say; look at what they do. Some of the experts do have a conflict of interest. How persuasive is it that an organic potato guy would tell you to eat organic potatoes? Meh.
Still, the stuff on beef and salmon are accurate. Salmon is touted as possessing healthy fats. Yet farm-raised salmon lack essential fatty acids, and also contain other toxins. Grass-fed beef contains the same fatty-acid profile as wild salmon. Thus, shouldn't it follow that grass-fed beef is superior to corn-fed beef? Of course.
However, most farmers feed their beef corn. It makes the beef tastier, but also increases levels of saturated fat. Given that most beef is factory farmed, this is doubly problematic. Why? Fat is a storage basin for environmental toxins. Birds die during long migrations because they burn fat for energy. When this fat is burned, DDT is released into the bird's bloodstreams.
Thus, its complete nonsense for people to tell you that food does not contain "toxins." If you eat fatty meat, you're eating the same hormones, pesticides, and drugs that the cow ingested. Bon appétit.
