I eat:

• 100% grass-fed organic beef
• Organic cream in my coffee
• European butter (Kerry Gold or Finlandia taste the best to me)
• European Cheese

Europe has much tighter controls over herbicides, pesticides and hormones. Many pesticides and herbicides that are saturated on our crops are banned there. Plus, the milk is from predominantly A2 type cows and they don't allow rBGH -- so their butter and cheese is much less polluted than ours.

I could buy US organic cheese, by my DW has a sensitivity to A1 milk products and most US cheese and butter is from A1 cows.

Because they have nationalized or socialized medicine (depending on the country), European countries are more interested in preventing disease, thus lowering their costs in treating disease.

I'm not a paranoid about every pollutant entering my body, as the body has defenses for that, but I just feel it's prudent to minimize the impact when I can.
