Is genetically modified food cheaper than raising animals?
You cannot compare raising crops with raising animals. They are two separate things, but the way animals are raised today is most likely cheaper than raising animals the way small farmers raise them. On a small farm, animals have fields they can graze, are not usually given any hormones, and the use of antibiotics is rare, but in what is called "factory farms" animals are raised in buildings under very crowded conditions. Many of these animals are given hormones or are genetically modified to grow faster, and are given antibiotics to ward of disease. It is likely that using the factory farm method is cheaper than allowing them room to graze and not using hormones to cause them to produce more or to grow faster.

How are Jennie-O turkeys raised and do they use hormones and antibiotics?
I have read on their official website as well as multiple blog posts that Jenny-O turkeys are not treated with hormones or steroids. They may be given antibiotics but there is a federally regulated amount of time after they are administered that must pass before the birds can be slaughtered, preventing any antibiotics from remaining in the meat.

How do hormones and antibiotics in meat effect us?
There really is not significantly enough hormones and antibiotics in the meat to directly effect us. However, that is only if proper protocols and withdrawal times have been followed to the T. If meat that enters the food chain contains trace amounts of hormones and antibiotics, it could mean children going into puberty earlier in life, other reproductive problems, and people getting sick from the meat.All meat contains some form of and certain amounts of hormones, no matter how it is raised. But the animals that have been injected with hormones a number of times will cause more harm to humans than naturally-raised, no-hormones-added meat would. Meat comes from animals, and animals, like us humans, have hormones that are circulated throughout the body in its natural processes like estrous cycling, pregnancy, testosterone, growth (for young growing animals), and other things. But like I said, meat that contains unhealthy levels of hormones are indeed, bad for us.
Why is non organic food not good for you?
