cows fed steroids is what is making americans fat?


Question:
Due to health concerns, Europe has banned the import of American beef raised using hormones, steroids and antibiotics. In our opinion there are NO "safe" hormone, steroid or antibiotic residues for our families to consume in beef. Here is an interesting loophole used by many large producers . . . cattle in feedlots will almost assuredly need prophylactic antibiotics. Their unnatural diet of grain and by-products require antibiotics to keep them from crashing. Do NOT allow your beef supplier to play word games . . . your beef supplier should NOT allow therapeutic or prophylactic antibiotics.

Answers:
LOL, i am sick and tired of people criticizing steroids. Has anyone heard of 14 year old girls taking steroids? I have they are called birth control pills. How about aids victims for them to gain weight. hummmmm. LOL so its ok and healthy form them but not athletic men?

Secondly, Americans are over weight because they don't exercise and they eat too many carbs/ too much caloric intake for the output. Dont try to blame it on something else.

Finally, Growth hormone and Testosterone (Steroids) reduce fat. Read before you commenting.

Other Answers:
Yes, they give them growth hormones to speed up the livestock growth due to the high consumer demands. But research suggests that these hormones not only speed up growth in livestock, but growth and puberty in children, and they are one of the causes of obesity in adults and children.
It is true... but I think it goes beyond that. How many young girls are devolping breasts at 8... I know a lot... my daughter is 13 and a lot of her friends started their periods early too. Its sick.. not to mention meat has less flavor than it did... and it costs more... all in the name of capitalism

Oh well... here's to the american dream?

Oh as far as what is making american's fat.. its their lack of exercise and nutrition. Sorry to say it but most of them live in the fast food drive thru and eat microwave garbage. In Europe.. dinner is never a rush. Its a family occasion where they sit for a long time eat slowly and talk. In america.. you have to run out the door to get the kids to soccer and blah blah blah blah... its mainly bad bad bad eating habits and too much KD
Cows fed homones can cause health problems but America is not fat for eating Beef, America is fat because Americans eat TOO MUCH and too much of the WRONG THINGS.
cattle require a grass diet, not corn nor other rendered live stock for there stomachs, any and all drugs feed to our food supply is polluting the chain, i eat wild game and grass fed buffalo, my health has improved, eat organic is my advice, and not the so called organic food that the fed. gov. has relaxed the rules on, for the benefit of there campaign contributors, it's a scam a farc and your health and well being are being toyed with for greed , awaken to the truth ,
i totally agree, and also they inject hormonal shots so that how girls can grow bigger boobies
I don't agree..if you want to point to a particular problem with milk, go back a few years.. When they started the hemogenizing of milk, it broke the fat into minuscule droplets that didn't come out of solution as cream. As far back as the Viet Nam war, (before steroids became commonly used), it was found all these young kids had elevated cholesterol levels.Was traced as far back as milk.
all i hear is blah blah blah, the other countries in the world dont follow any kind of regulation, the u.s is the most regulation nation in the world, and everytime we turn around, someone else is trying to step on us. wake up people. damn!!!!
It's not cows being fed steroids, it's the LAZY Americans that would rather spend- no WASTE- double the money of a gym membership on crap diets that give worse results than a gym. I'm American too, and I'm sick of this LAZY IGNORANT nation. Italy, HERE I COME! :P
