Why should I get a free range organic Thanksgiving turkey?
Free range organically raised turkeys are fed their native diet, allowed to exercise and roam, and grow at there natural pace. They are not given hormones or antibiotics. As a result of this, these animals are healthy and the meat they produce is healthy with a natural balance of essential fatty acids and increased vitamin and mineral content.
Fed-lot agri-business raised turkeys found in most grocery stores are confined to cramped conditions in numbers immensely larger than their normal pecking order. This produces a great amount of stress on the bird decreasing their health. These turkeys are fed an unnatural diet that causes them to be unnaturally overweight and nutritionally deficient. They are given growth hormones for the same purpose. Because of all the stress and unbalanced diet, they become sick. In the effort to keep them alive long enough to reach Thanksgiving they are given antibiotics. All if this provides meat that is nutritionally deficient and full of hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides that can decrease a person’s health if they eat it.
