You may be telling yourself, if I'm buying Organic Beef from the store than it is Beef, Grass Fed from cows on small farms, right? Well I hate to tell you but I've got some news for you, it may not be 100% grass fed beef. The organic food movement 20 years ago was just a few small farms dedicated to producing the best food possible. Well, big agriculture companies started to see their market share slip away into organics and they realized they needed a piece of the action. They started the acquisitions of these small organic farms into big corporations because it easier to buy out your competition than to create it from the ground up. The problem is that organic beef and other organic foods mostly come from these large companies now where quality is way down on the list and profits are on the top. They have to answer to shareholders every year about profits so they are not so concerned if the food is really healthy for you.   

The large organic beef companies realize that it is more profitable to feed a cow grain in the last few months before slaughter. They can grow a cow to full size in four to five months with organic corn while the same cow while take a year and half on nothing but grass. Most people say to me, well what is wrong with a little corn anyways? If it is organic corn than it is better than the pesticide, herbicide, genetically modified corn that feed lot beef are grown on, right? Wrong, cows are herbivore's, they were designed with four stomachs so they can break down the plant material. The research shows that 200 years ago farmers didn't feed cattle grain like we do today. Farmers would have told you were crazy, to be feeding their food to a cow? Grains were difficult to grow because they didn't have modern farm equipment. It took oxen one day to plow one acre what our modern 200 horsepower tractors can do in 5 minutes. Grains were what humans ate back then because it was so precious after all of that work.  Why, are humans feeding grains to an herbivore? So just because we can do something, should we?

The tests now show that 100% Grass Fed Beef has 4-5 times less fat than grain fed beef, up to 4 times the Omega 3's. They are richer in antioxidants; including vitamins E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. In addition, they do not contain traces of added synthetic hormones, antibiotics or other toxic drugs. Now with medical technology we can examine conventional feed lot beef, Organic Grain Fed beef and Beef, Grass Fed from cows that have been raised on nothing but 100% grass.
