Is beef jerky healthy?

If you are speaking of the jerky you buy in the store, there are other drawbacks as well. You don't know where the beef comes from, how the cattle are raised, or what they are injected with to make them grow faster. Much of the jerky you buy at the store has been injected with growth hormones and antibiotics. The cattle are raised on "factory farms" under very poor conditions. The salt content being an issue depends on what kind of salt they use to cure the meat. There is a healthier alternative, but I'm new to MyLot and unsure of the rules here.
