Be Careful What You Eat

I just saw a video on Dr. Mercola's website which made me sick.  The website www.mercola.com, which promotes natural health and wellness, had a video which showed the dangers of meat glue. This glue, which is an enzyme called transglutaminase, can be made from the cultivation of bacteria or from the blood plasma of pigs and cows especially the coagulant that makes blood clot.

When the glue is sprinkled onto the meat, it acts similar to super glue and binds different meat pieces together. Once the pieces are glued together they look so much like an actual quality piece of meat that skilled butchers could not tell the difference.

Although the report was from Australia and it mentioned the European Union, I would not be surprised if this practice is going on here in the USA. It really makes me what to become a vegetarian, or at least search the farmer's market for organic beef farmers. This is another reason why it is so important to pray before we eat since there are so many crazy things in our food supply.

Here's a link to the video
