I feel like I've been lied to. By people trying to sell me something. And because the two of you made me aware of this, now I feel dumb for just believing an article or two I've read about eating animals raised on their natural diets, and subsequently believing people trying to sell me something.
Of the handful of restaurants and other places that I have access to "grassfed" meats, the sales staff is woefully underinformed. I can just imagine the look on their face when I ask on what diet the meat was finished.
What do you guys think about beef from Argentina? I heard that most beef from down there is old fashioned- free range grass fed, etc. Should I have faith in a restaraunt b/c it uses "argentinian" beef, or is more research in order?
Guess I have a few questions for the folks I get raw milk from too- since they have begun to offer "grassfed" beef. While I now understand what "finished" means, I am dumbfounded you can call an animal "grassfed" and have fed it grains other than grass.
and isn't sad we have to discuss what the diet of our food was? I remember a sign in a store that read "VEGETARIAN BEEF" and I thought aloud, I didn't think cows were omnivours. A real farmer would never feed a cow another cow. Its sad what the factory farm industry has done to our food supply.
Thanks for the responses, and taking the time to educate. You guys have definitely performed a service, if only for me. Thanks again.
