Why Grass-Fed?
Regeneratively & Holistically Farmed Grass-Finished Animals | Traditionally Farmed Grain-Fed Animals | |
---|---|---|
Fatty Acid Profile | - 3x higher in omega-3s - more healthful (lower) omega-6:omega-3 ratio |
- same omega-6 levels, far lower omega-3 levels |
Antioxidant Content | - 7x higher in beta-carotene (Vitamin A) - 4x higher a-tocopherol (Vitamin E) - significantly greater gluthathione, glycine, cysteine, glutamine levels |
- inverse linear relationship with amount of grain feed and antioxidant levels in meat |
GMOs and Pesticides | - never used | - 235 million pounds of pesticides used to grow corn and soy cattle feed annually - pesticide residue found in ALL tested samples of traditional cattle meat, inlcuding long-banned pesticides like DDT, associated with carcinogenic and non-carncinogenic health risks - 99% of cancer biopsies tested contained the worlds most common pesticide, glyphosate |
Antibiotics | - never used | - US uses 81 mg of antibitiocs per kg of cattle - widespread abuse due to living conditions of animals fostering rampant, diverse disease - antibiotic-resistant bacteria in meat that has potential to colonize human microbiome when consumed |
Steroids, Hormones | - never used | - always used to increase sellable meat content - associated with increased risk of cancers impacting numerous organs - associated with endocrine disruption causing reproductive, metabolic, and immune diosorders |
