Food Feature:  Grass-Fed Beef 

It is important to eat beef from HAPPY cows!  Happy cows get out on the pasture and eat grass (that is what a cow should be eating by the way).  Pastured animals are full of great health benefits (see below), live less stressed lives, are better for the environment and support sustainable farming.

Grass-fed beef is full of wonderful health benefits such as:  

  • A natural source of omega 3 fats - Omega 6:3 ratio comparable to fish w/o the mercury!
  • High in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) due to pasture diet!
  • Full of beta carotene
  • Loaded with over 400% more of vitamins A and E
  • NO Animal by-products means immunity to issues from animal by-product feeding, such as BSE
  • NO Hormones
  • NO Irradiation
  • NO Antibiotics fed
