Best Sources of Protein: Truths and Lies

Plants that are not organically grown are sprayed with harmful chemicals, such as pesticides. When you eat these plants for protein, you are also destroying your body with harmful chemicals. Animals that are not grown in pasture farms free of synthetic chemicals are also not healthy to eat.
