If You're A Meat Eater, Does It Matter What The Meat You're Eating, Ate?
We sure Think So!
Think about it, Cows are natural herbivores, which means they are MEANT to eat plants.
Yet, a large number of conventionally raised cattle are moved to a feedlot
where, for the final 4-8 months of their lives
they eat a diet high in grain.
Nothing wrong with that, right? Cows love grain!
We’ve all heard you are what you eat
but, would you rather be a Grain fed cow or a Grass Fed / Pasture Raised cow?
What’s the difference?
Well, Cattle that stay on pasture their whole life continue to eat plants, which results in healthier animals.
