Why Grass Fed Beef?
   

    
Grass fed beef,by definition, is meat products from animals fed grass diets, rather than a grain-based diet. Grass fed beef products are higher in in beta carotene (Vitamin A). conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.  Initial research has shown all of these elements to be crucial in reducing cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and other life threatening deseases.

    Grass-fed animal products are lower in fat and calories. If a person consuming the average American quantity of beef (66.5 pounds) were to switch to grass-fed beef, he or she would reduce the number of calories consumed in one year by 17,733. 
     
                                                       
    
Consumers of grass fed meat greatly reduce their risk of becoming infected with pathogenic E. coli bacteria. In the event that meat from a grass-fed animal is contaminated with the naturally occurring E. coli bacteria, it will be easily killed by the normal acidity in a human digestive tract. Feeding large amounts of grain to animals causes the E. coli bacteria to become resistant to this acidity. (Diez-Gonzalez et.al)

                 In 1940 we produced 2.3 calories of food energy for every calorie of fossil-fuel energy used, now it takes 10 calories of fossil-fuel energy to produce a single calorie of modern supermarket food. Grass fed beef is far more efficient in producing food calories without the extreme use of fossil fuels by primarily obtaining energy from the sun by way of photosynthesis. It takes about 1 gallon of oil to produce 1 bushel of grain. Also the concept of marketing locally greatly reduces the dependence on petroleum when compared to the average grocery store product that has been shipped 1,500 miles on average before reaching their destination.
