I don't think there would be as many issues with tainted meat if we processed it ourselves. I personally strive to buy my meat locally from farms who let their animals free-range as I don't think it's natural to feed cows corn/grain their whole lives when their stomachs aren't even made for digesting it properly. I see no issues with feeding my dog meat that was personally acquired from a reliable source vs feeding it meat from an unknown/questionable source in a supermarket. My mother and her parents all raised their own food and they couldn't be healthier individuals. I hope to in the next year practice more of what I preach and start growing all my food and acquiring my meat through hunting- as it is a more sustainable and natural way of living.
