I can’t say that I feel grass fed beef is better than grain fed beef. There are lots of facts to weigh. First grass fed is better for the environment meaning the carbon print is smaller. But it takes a lot of land to have grass fed animals. In my opinion whether you are eating grass fed or grain and grass fed animals, you really need to know where it comes from and how it is handled. Some people will say their animals are treated humanely and yet they are in tight quarters and standing in muck, that isn’t humane. Meet the farmer that raises the product you are eating, the housing of the animals says a lot about the care the animal has received.
Animals living in tight quarters may have larger amounts of cortisol in their meat from stress of overcrowding and having to share their space with to many other animals.
Enjoy the article and remember its your life, choose to eat healthy.
