As the article correctly alludes to, the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of the animal is more in balance with the optimal 1:1 ratio for health. |

They wouldn't believe me just like you probably don't believe me. There's enough research out there to prove it though. Nevermind the fact that our cell walls and brain are made of fat. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 11,2010 3:55pm - arilliusbm ""] lies. my brain is made of a neural net processor, a learning computer. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 11,2010 3:56pm - Martins ""] Probably right. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2010 4:07pm - Archaeon ""] Meat is murder. |

The problem with grass-fed labeling is it confuses people. A farmer can get a grass fed label but only put cows out to pasture for 3 months out of the year, the rest of the year they are eating grains inside of a barn. Your best bet is always Bison, native animal, more protein, more vitamins, lives outside at all times except for storms of course, eats grass/hay. And it's illegal to give Bison Hormones or antibiotics. And this junk about people arguing about organic or earth friendly food being expensive is null as conventional food is much more expensive the costs are just not direct, IE worse for your health (means more medical bills on average) Worse for the animals, worse for the environment, worse for people in third world countries (price hikes and exported american beef always cause farmers in other countries to not bother with raising their own meat animals.) I find that the problem is still the same, too many people. If we had an ideal population or if we pushed everyone into urban areas rather than spreading them out in a wide net of concrete in mini-malls across land that could be used for farming/raising game animals, we could not bother with cattle for meat we eat too much meat anyways. The healthiest cultures usually only consume a few pounds a week, Many americans eat a couple pounds of cooked meat a day. We also don't eat enough fish, but that's good because there's too many of us and the fish populations are already pushed to the limits of consumption. solution. total all out world war. |
