Whole Food Diet, Fresh Meats

Should I only buy Tyson meats or are Meijer fresh(not frozen) meats ok.

Pretty much all untreated meats should be fine.

I'm not sure where favoring Tyson would come from.

People may favor organic or grass-fed or free-range etc but I think when I've seen ppl prefer a certain brand/source, it's for reasons beyond whether it's an untreated, uninjected, un-tampered-with whole food.

I buy most of my meats at Meijers. I find no difference between store brands and name brands aside from the price..and I'm very sensitive to any sort of additives.

The only thing that would make me question store brands is the chance of CC when the meats are cut up and packaged. Some stores sell pre-stuffed clams or pork chops, or seasoned meats like pork tenderloins. If they were seasoned with something containing gluten, cut up and packaged at the store, then they cut up and packaged the chicken with the same meat saw and on the same packaging table, there MIGHT be a chance of CC. I worked for a very short time at a meat store/butcher shop many years ago and saw the way they wiped things down between cuttings/packagings. They used a damp rag but no soap, and they certainly didn't break down the saw and give it a thourough cleaning until the end of the day.

Now, all that being said, I DO buy store brand meats sometimes, but have never had a problem. I think if I were super-sensitive I might not take the chance though.

I buy store brand fresh meats at several different stores, no problems thus far.
