Tastes good and good for You?????
The health benefits to our customers goes well beyond the obvious; no steroids,
hormones or fed antibiotics. Research has shown that beef, pork and poultry fed a
steady diet of grass with grain is leaner and contains 2-10 times more omega-3 fatty
acids than grocery store meat. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid that reduces the risks
of blood clotting, diseases and conditions like depression, obesity, diabetes, arthritis,
allergies, asthma and dementia. Blood pressure stays lower and so does the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
Besides omega-3, grass fed animals have more CLA (conjugated Linoleic Acid) Many
studies have shown that CLA shows promise in the fight against cancer and
cardiovascular disease including cholesterol.
More beta-carotenes is also on the list of health benefits. Grass fed animals tend to have
a yellow color to their fat. The more yellow the higher the levels of beta-carotene in the
meat. Unfortunately in the U.S. our society has been raised with white fat in store
bought meat. White fat in other countries is considered inferior.
So besides knowing that you are eating an animal that lived a good life, you get the
healthy benefits from it.
