SAUSAGES....SAUSAGES
Good Saturday Afternoon to ya!
My 6 year old daughter LOVES sausages...I mean LOVE SAUSAGES!!!!...You can give her hot dogs everyday and she'd be happy as a kid in a Candy Store !!!!
The only problem is that I am trying to help her kick that bad habit that I created. Yes, me! - I really did not know better and when I was a kid, I ate sausages so quite naturally she was fed them.
I did not take the time to understand the kind of stuff that was mechanically stuffed into what we bought as sausages nor had I, a clue, about the amount of artificial, hazardous materials that was added in the making of sausages. I discovered that Sausages were DEFINITELY hazardous to one's health. I suspect 30 years ago they may have been a tad bit healthier but not NOW!
I found out that the MOST dangerous ingredient in SAUSAGES is Sodium Nitrite. Sodium Nitrite causes cancer and it is found in processed meats such as hot dogs, bacon and most types of cured meats and sausages. This ingredient is a color fixer chemical which is used to make meats appear red.
For a list of some of the other wonderful ingredients in your modern day sausage, take a look at the video below
NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!!!
Anyways, I thought, like most bad habits, I have to ween it, ever so slowly, so I'll start to look for organic sausage...some brilliant health scientist must have thought of a way to make Sausage without all the fillers and Sodium Nitrite.
Turns out, I found some organic sausages at the Be Free Foods Organic Grocery, right in Trinidad. Yes, in Trinidad and Tobago we have organic shops and groceries. I have listed two spots in Trinidad that provide organic products. Are they delicious - Yes!, Are they healthier - Yes! and Are they more expensive - Of course. But I'd prefer that my daughter and I have an occasional treat of organic hot dogs than spend thousands of dollars...trying to restore our health!

ReplyDeleteI am of the opinion that meat haters do everything to show that meat is poorly processed. However if you are aeat lover there is no way to kill an animal good.
ReplyDeleteYou're clearly a meat lover. I hear you but do u really think sausages are more chemicals and less meat...a point to ponder!
DeleteThanks for commenting...be healthy!
I myself have stopped eating sausages for that same reason!
ReplyDeleteTo your health!
DeleteI have mixed views about this...It does look unhealthy, and I believe too much of this could be harmful...But the alternative to this is so expensive to maintain. I say every thing in moderation...If you have to consume this stuff monitor your intake and try and flush your system as often as you could.
