Eat at Dos Toros! The meats that they use are hormone free, antiobiotic free, and are raised humanely.
1. Hormones aren't used in animals (chicken, beef, pork) that we eat. This may decrease cancer in our health.
2. Antibiotics are not found in the animal feed. This limits the outbreaks of resistant bacteria found in meat. This makes us sick!
3. They are humanely raised, which may mean they eat foods they would naturally eat and are allowed to graze and roam land. This can limit the spread of disease and may keep them more healthy.
