Book of the Month: Pasture Perfect, by Jo Robinson

 

About the Book (source:  www.eatwild.com)

Pasture Perfect by Jo Robinson.

Stop feeling guilty about eating meat. This book will help you go back to eating and enjoying good, healthy meat and dairy products.

In this book, Robinson explores how and why factory farms have been allowed to take over our food production, and provides science-based information on why grass-fed beef, pork, lamb, bison and dairy products are safer, healthier, and more beneficial for you, the animals, and the environment.

Pasture Perfect will take you on a "pasture walk" of a grass-based farm where you'll learn how dedicated farmers produce high quality products on grass alone. Next, you'll tour a factory farm and see the dramatic differences in the two modes of production. Suddenly it will be very clear why Old MacDonald doesn't live here anymore.

Pasture Perfect also includes practical advice to help you make the transition to grass-fed products, including:
  • Help with finding, screening, and ordering grass-based products
  • Wrapping, freezing, and cooking instructions
  • Sixty farm-tested recipes that will help you serve delicious meals from grass-fed products.
    Beware: Once you go grass-fed, you'll never go back!

    Praise for Robinson's Work

    "Jo Robinson is the undisputed maven of fact-based health information about grass-fed meat and dairy products. You can always count on her hard-nosed ‘show me the research’ skepticism toward any and all health claims. If she writes about it, you know that what she tells you is based on science and not hyperbole."Allan Nation, Editor, The Stockman Grass Farmer

    "Through Jo’s dedicated gathering of relevant research we are coming to know that pasture-raised animal products are healthier for us. Read this book and buy your animal products from stewards who raise their animals on high-quality pasture."—George Boody, Executive Director, Land Stewardship Project

    Jo Robinson is the "high priestess for the pasture-feeding movement ...Unlike other evangelists for organicity, Robinson backs up her passionate beliefs with thorough research."—The Seattle Weekly
