Are you aware you’re discrediting hundreds of millenias of natural cattle diet and making it seem like it’s bad for the planet? You fool.

The question is not “grass fed or corn fed?”, it’s “beef or other sources of protein entirely?”

Thanks for the great article. There’s one more reason to second guess what we’re eating.

Who funded the beef study? Grass fed beef is much better for your health. You are what you eat.

The answer is to stop eating meat, end of story! The sooner America realizes this, and the disgusting industry based on quarter-pounders and triple heart bypass burgers the better off the entire nation will be. Cows will go back to eating grass because no one will care what their eating when we don’t have to eat them!!!

The writer of this article totally missed the point of eating grass feed beef. Animals finished at feed lots on grains have much much higher levels of omega 6 fat saturation and lower amounts of omega 3. When consumed this leads to inflammatory markers in the human body leading to an array of disease pathologies ranging from heart disease to arthritis. Wild animals have higher levels of omega 3 (anti-inflammatory) compared to omega 6 (inflammatory). These animals are leaner and strictly eat what nature intended for them. I would rather eat an animal feed on all different types of live plants than a fat obese, almost diabetic cow feed corn. Lastly, the writer didn’t take into account the amount carbon emission needed to produce and provide all that grain at feedlots. Man I wish people would wake up and do some research for themselves than listen to idiots like this writer.

My only problem with organic and grass-fed beef is the price, which is totally out of my price range. It’s easier for me to avoid meat entirely, then it would be to keep it straight which kind is best for me and best for the environment.
