Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
We've all heard the that beef is bad for you. It raises cholesterol and increases risk of heart attack. You'd think, knowing those facts, that the safest thing to do would be to try to remove beef from your diet. However, it appears that not all beef is created equal (and so you may not have to give up hamburgers altogether). Switching to grass-fed beef (from the conventional grain-fed beef which is what it typically available in your grocery store) may be the only step you need to make.
According to Eat Wild, grass-fed beef can be lower in fat than commercially raised chicken and has far more omega-3 fatty acids than conventional beef, which is a powerful cancer fighter and aids in brain development. It is also much higher in vitamin E, which is an immune booster.
So don't feel bad about eating that burger, just know what kind of beef you're eating and enjoy.

Because of the levels of mercury found in fish - grass fed beef is the best option - now, if only more farms would adopt this method.....

I also didn't realize just exactly what being "corn fed" did to a cow. I enjoy being an omnivore, but at the same time I don't see any reason for animals to suffer in that manner while they're alive.
I was fortunate to be raised on grass-fed beef. I'm probably one of the only people my age who knows what grass fed beef even tastes like. It's a shame, really.
