Reasons Why Grass-Fed Meat is Best
|
|
|
|
|
Delicious, mild flavor; tender meat. |
|
|
No antibiotics in feed; no added hormones. |
|
|
Lower fat than grain finished (and therefore lower calorie). |
|
|
Raised and finished on pesticide-free and herbicide-free pasture. (Some hay may be used in low pasture
growth season.) |
|
|
2 to 6 times more omega 3 fatty acids than grain finished meat. (People with diets rich in omega
3s have lower risk of high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, and certain mental disorders. They have half the
likelihood of dying from heart attack or stroke, and may be less vulnerable to cancer.) |
|
|
CLA is higher in grass fed meat. (Conjugated linoleic acid helps convert fat to lean muscle and shows promise
to reduce cancer growth.) |
|
|
Grass fed animals are richer in beta-carotene (linked to lower risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease). |
|
|
Grass fed meat lowers your risk of becoming infected with pathogenic e. coli bacteria. |
