The importance of Grass fed/FINISHED meats is massive.
It's very important to make sure your beef is finished on grass. The way the law is at the moment means that you can call your beef grass fed even if you have finished it off on grain for something like 70 - 180 days on grain. After 70 days on grain you lose almost all the benefits of it even being fed on grass in the first place.

I have been trying my best to consume mostly Grass Fed beef for quite some time. It's a choice i make, not only for the more humane way that these animals are treated but for the amazing health benefits.
If we are what we eat, then it's safe to say that Animals are what THEY eat too. How could I expect to obtain superior health or a fitter, faster, stronger body if the animals that I'm consuming were sick, unhealthy, weak and un happy animals.
I mean after all, every second we replace 2 million cells with what we are consuming and with this in mind i'd much rather become apart of an animal that was fed it's NATURAL diet and that is strong and healthy!
Ask yourself three questions. Is it good for me(us), is it good form humanity, is it good for the environment? and then make a choice and if you're happy with that choice then so be it.
Grain fed, and marbled (with fat) beef is highly prized because it's very tender. Like the fattier cuts of chicken like thigh fillets, it stays moist and tender when cooked, compared to breast fillets which can become tough and stringy.
I'm not a big beef eater, but I LOVE my lamb! Especially those lamb sirloins - yummmmmmmmmmmo!
What i hate about supermarket chicken and pork is how much water they pump into it (so that it weighs more and therefore you pay more), which gets released when cooking so the meat ends up stewing and gets really tough.
Also take into account that grass fed beef has much higher Omega3 to Omega6 levels and you're on a definate winner.
ReplyDeleteIt also tastes BETTER!!
