Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I understand the desire to eat grass fed beef and it is better just like home grown vegetables are better but I'm simply saying that where it is not available regular beef is acceptable. The original thread of this topic was someone asking about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you've brought it up, my experience is that cattle are fed mostly hay and put out to pasture to eat grass. Grain and pellets are expensive compared to hay. I used to have to haul the bails out to the pasture and break them down for the cattle. Had to break the ice in the horse trough to keep them from dying of thirst too. They also used to break through the fence and stand on the railroad tracks. You'd think they were running for congress or something. No Einstein danger there.

I realize that there are cattle " farms " that may feed differently but none that I know of. The only big processing area I've been to where the cattle are bunched into a stock yard and raised by the thousands were fed hay in giant troughs filled by dumptrucks. Bulldozers were used to pile up the manure. It was the biggest mountain of manure I'd ever seen!! There are thousands of acres of fields of hay in the midwest that feed something. Can't all be for elephants. Unless you're saying that hay is not grass? Grains and hay pellets are routinely fed to pigs, however, along with victims from serial killers and just about anything else at hand--LOL. All that being said, there is nothing better than fresh, grass fed beef purchased directly from the farm especially if it's been aged a little to tenderize the meat with enzymes. I am thinking about trying that 25 pound order of ground beef. I can always put some of it in my neighbor's frig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 That's a hard question. If I couldn't access grass-fed beef, I would have some hard choices to make. If I did choose to eat grain-fed beef I would go your route and buy the leanest cuts and best quality. I can't say in real terms because I'm not faced with it, but I would have to think long and hard before ever eating grain-fed beef of any kind. Not just for the principal of the fact that the only reason it exists is for profit, but because of the high aracadonic acid content of it. It's the aracadonic acid in beef and other animal fats that is to primarily to blame for the bad name beef is given and why so many O's who could be helped by the components of grass-fed meat are told not to touch red meat by their doctors. If someone did to humans what they do to grain-fed beef, they'd start feeding little Type O human babies a diet of white bread and corn so they could make them fat fast. _____ From: Maddviking@...

Oh, I think kids are over weight because they're fed carbs, candy, and sugar and not required to exercise. They have no work to do in this modern age of leisure.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I was told that red meat is harder for your system to digest and therefore sits in your gi tract longer and provides a better breeding ground for candida? Can anyone factually and medically debunk that? If so that would be great news for me. > > > Can I ask how you found this?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi mj, Did you read through the file entitled " Meat Eating & Protein " ? You might find answers there. jackie > > I was told that red meat is harder for your system to digest and > therefore sits in your gi tract longer and provides a better breeding > ground for candida?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 It looks like the closest place to me is 2 hours away. I might just end up ordering online if I can find a decent price. They do have free range at my local health food store but it's horribly expensive! Luv, Debby San , CA --- greenzebra5 <greenzebra5@...> wrote: > > Can I ask how you found this?

Can anyone factually and medically debunk that? If so that would be great news for me. ==>The very easiest things for your body to digest are good meats, including red meat, eggs and " good " fats (coconut oil, butter, lard, etc.) rather than any carbs (any foods that are not classed as protein or fats). Your body is designed to take longer to digest in order for it to absorb the nutrients from the foods. Check out articles in the Digestion folder, especially The Long Hallow Tube by Sally Fallon, and the Myth about Eating Beef, etc. - I can't recall the actual title of the articles, but there are more than one about how good red meats are for you. ==>Why would we want to rely on medical facts to give us correct information?
