Haven't found but one or two people concerned about all the chemicals or
meat by-products in their meat here in our discussions with John Q Public
about ostrich meat and why we don't give our birds hormones, steroids,
antibiotics, or animal by-products in their feed. I'm not sure the average
farmer can make any living raising healthy food.
