Captain Cooks birthday parties are not only a blast but the kids actually learn a valuable skill at the same time…..Kids prepare homemade organic pizza dough from scratch, then they each get to roll out their own pizza and finish it off with their favorite organic toppings. An organic fruit side dish is then prepared and then [...]
Cows eating corn instead of grass, how absurd?? Think about it…cows aren’t suppose to eat corn or any other grain….they are ruminants (along with buffalo, deer, goats, etc) which means they have multiple chambered stomachs dsigned for eating and digesting grass, like no other species can do. Then why are the majority of our beef [...]

Saturated and Trans Fat
The culprits - Before we begin I will say that fat in general gets a bad name, it is the major source of energy in the body aiding in the absorption of vitamins and minerals and in moderation is an essential part of a healthy diet. However we need to distinguish between good fat and [...]
Artificial Sweeteners

Antibiotics
The culprits - Penicillin, Tetracycline, Erythromycin… Sound familiar? They should. The livestock industry uses the same antibiotics that we administer to ourselves and our children to combat a host of different infections.

Growth Hormones
The culprits - Oestradiol, Progestorone, Testosterone, Zeranol, Trenbolone and Melengestrol. Although they may sound like the contents of A-Rods lunch box there is a good chance that everyone reading this will have consumed some or all of these steroids today if they have eaten any beef.

Thats Sunset Yellow. Red [...]
