Can Grass fed cows give us better beef then corn fed cows?

A good question indeed. It is said that grass fed cows give a much leaner beef that can actually be better for us then chicken. That's not all folks, also has up to 15 less calories per ounce of beef compared to grain fed. And you thought it couldn't get better but it can. Grass fed beef also has a significant amount more of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids in it compared to grain fed. Why would you want to fed cows something that shouldn't be in their diet.

Back to the main question, yes it is healthier and you shouldn't eat grain fed. But another question you have got to ask yourself is; If you care about your health and what you eat, should you not care about what the meat you eat what they consume? Hopefully you do care about what you eat. To put this into a perspective that can work for us. Imagine your the species that is being farmed and all they fed you was chocolate, Some farms feed you real pure chocolate and others feed you what you find in those chocolate eggs on Easter. regardless of what type of chocolate they feed you, that's your diet and thats all your going to eat. sure pure chocolate is healthy for you, but it makes you fat right and can give you a heart attack if your arteries are clogged. Thats what its like to grain feed cows.

Hey fun fact for you. Did you know that the mad cow disease has never been recorded or found in grass fed cows? I bet you did not know that. So lets stop feeding cows crap that isn't part of their natural diet and give them something that they also very much enjoy. Grass.
