Thoughts on Food {What we eat}




I've always enjoyed Justin Bonello's Cooked series of programs. What I like about it is the fact that it is good, honest food that is regularly available in SA.  No nonsense kind of stuff!  Yesterday on DStv I watched his new season of Cooked {Season 5}, the series will be about where our food actually comes from, how it is grown, harvested or where our meat comes from.  How the animals are reared, etc.  The first episode was on Elgin Free Range Chickens, it really made me think.  We just take the suppliers word on how good the food actually is for us, we don't really know what is in our meat, do we really know how much antibiotics or growth hormones / promoters are in it?  I'll definately be buying just Woolies Free Range Chicken or Elgin Free Range Chicken from now on.  I don't just have to think about my own health, but also the health of my two year old little girl! 

Elgin Free Range Chickens are free from antibiotics, growth hormones and growth promotors.  What you get is pure chicken and nothing harmfull added.  In the program Justin closed by sayng, buy a free range chicken and a mass produced one and taste the difference, you will be amazed.  I'm planning on doing just that!  Will post pics etc as soon as it is done!  In the meantime, let's all be a little more vigilant on what we put in our bodies, and let us support the local manufacturers that have our interests and the animals best interests at heart.

Hubby bought us this book last weekend, cannot wait to start cooking from it!  Click on the link above for the Kalahari link.
