Health Benefits of Grassfed Beef
Cattle are made to eat grass and when they eat only grass wonderful things happen. Cattle are not designed to eat grain or for that matter stale candy, cement dust, ground up telephone books or chicken feathers (just a few of the "supplements" provided by feedlots). We are what we eat - eats!!!! Health professionals and the Center of Disease Control estimated that 50 to 90 percent of chronic illnesses are diet and lifestyle related. Our unnaturally high diet of processed foods, which includes the fat in grain finished beef, is alleged to cause obesity and increase heart disease. Grassfed beef can be an important tool in the quest for a healthy lifestyle and the battle against chronic illness.
