Tyson, Cargill among others now drugging your meat with
Merck's new Zilmax !
|
Merck scientists have introduced a new drug to
the meat industry - Zilmax. This drug bulks up cattle in the last few weeks
of their lives, bringing in more revenue for feedlot owners. Four major meat
companies now use Zilmax, including Tyson Foods, JBS SA, Cargill, and
National Beef Packing Co. Reportedly, Cargill resisted Zilmax for years, but
finally got on board to keep up with the market. Recycling the drug Zilmax was once called Zilpaterol and was used to treat asthma in humans. The drug was an absolute failure but was found to be a repartitioning agent - a drug that changes metabolism so more muscles are produced instead of fat. The World Anti-Doping Agency banned the drug for human consumption, so Merck re-branded the drug Zilmax and started selling it to feedlots as a growth stimulant. Journalist visits meat locker, disgusted As a journalist for Chronicle of Higher Education, Melody Peterson described her visit to the meat locker at West Texas A&M University. Escorted by Ty E. Lawrence, associate professor of animal science, Peterson reported, "Bloody sides of beef, still covered with a slick layer of ivory-colored fat, hung from steel hooks. Dressed in a white lab coat, a hard hat on his head, Lawrence pointed to the carcass of a Holstein that had been fed a new drug called Zilmax. He noted its larger size compared with the nearby body of a steer never given the drug." "'This is thicker, and it's plumper,' said Lawrence, pointing at the beast's rib-eye. 'This animal right here,' waving his hand at the pharmaceutically enhanced meat, 'doesn't look like a Holstein anymore.'" Not a Holstein anymore: is that really something to be proud about? If a Holstein doesn't look like a Holstein anymore, what are we eating and what are we becoming? Drugged up beef has more profit The drought in 2012 made it easier for Merck to sell Zilmax. Without needing any more feed or water, a cow can now yield 33 pounds of extra beef when drugged with Zilmax. According to Zilmax advertisements, food production has everything to do with profit now instead of giving people healthy, real meat. One of their ads boasts: "Costs $20 Makes you $40 THAT'S ZILMANOMICS! Beef you can count on. Feed Zilmax for the last 20 days for an additional 30 pounds of hot carcass weight and an extra $40 per head, gross profit. That's every four weeks. Let's see the folks on Wall Street beat those returns!" Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/039290_Zilmax_cattle_Cargill.html#ixzz2MHJvycq6

plants that don't accept cattle with Zilmax

nothing is safe anymore where drugs are concerned. Our gov could care less
Everyone running these drug companies should be hung or executed in front of a firing squad. What they are doing to change this meat for filthy lucre is also doing the same thing to anyone who consumes it. Put these companies out of business. Cargill is one of the companies involved in the "Windsor Global Food Cartel, An Instrument For Starvation."
Ditto
No wonder everyone is starting to look like cattle.
