How Paleo Approved Are You?

Explanation
Farmed salmon are often fed a diet of corn and soy, are given feed with dyes in it to look similar to their wild-caught counterparts, and actually have a high Omega 6, and low Omega 3 fatty acid ratio. These farmed salmon are often anemic, with higher levels of PCBs and mercury than wild fish. Additionally, there is a higher incidence of disease in farmed fish that are forced to live in confinement.

Explanation
This one was tricky. They all look Paleo Approved, don't they?
Chickens, however, are not Vegetarian. Try again.

Explanation
Organic chickens can be fed "Organic" and "Vegetarian" corn. Not Paleo.
If it's omega-3 enriched, it means they fed the chickens flaxseed in with their corn meal. Cage free can still mean cooped up with a million other chickens in a barn. That's not Paleo either. Pastured Chickens are Paleo.

Explanation
Pigs, chickens, humans, and ostriches are all omnivores. A horse is an herbivore.

Explanation
Natural is the way manufacturers like General Mills and Tyson got away from using the word "Organic." Why? Organic has higher standards, but not nearly high enough for Paleo Approved.

Explanation
99% of the United States population believes that brown chicken are healthier. This is a marketing ploy! They are nutritionally the same as the other eggs, unless the chicken that laid the egg ate a moderate amount of protein that it found while pecking and scratching in the pasture. Protein, and calcium rich diets provide for a deeper yellow-dark orange tall-standing yolk, with a thick shell.

Explanation
Not even close! Farmed fish are mostly fed corn, and do not eat algae that contains the Omega 3 fatty acids. Farmed Fish have have seven times the levels of PCB’s as wild salmon, are administered antibiotics at higher levels than any other livestock, and are given chemicals to give them color so that they look pink instead of gray. This way they don't look disgusting at the meat counter! Yeah, not Paleo Approved.

Explanation
I wish. “Free range” birds live very similar to their factory farmed counterparts. To be designated “free range,” producers only have to apply for a USDA “free range” label with a description of the birds’ housing stating that they are able to have access to the outdoors for more than 51% of their lives. There is neither a definition of “access” nor independent verification of the statements producers make, and the USDA relies solely on producer testimony. So a chicken that lives in a cramped barn, that has a door that opens up to concrete can still be "Free-Range." Awesome!

Explanation
Cage free can mean that the chickens are kept inside but allowed to roam in a limited space. A barn with a million chickens that cant even lay down can still be labeled cage-free. It's crap, isn't it? Don't believe the hype.

Explanation
Pigs and Chicken are not vegetarians, Lambs are.

Explanation
Ducks eat frogs, snakes, and fish. Seriously. Vegetarian-Ducks are Being Fed Corn and Soy. This is not Paleo Approved. Not at all.

Explanation
The vast majority of turkey found in commercial grocery stores is "Vegetarian-fed" None of this Vegetarian-Fed poultry crap is Paleo Approved. None of it.

Explanation
Not a chance. American Grass-fed label also allows for corn and grain-finishing. This COMPLETELY negates the whole purpose of being grass-fed in the first place.
