Grass fed beef has become a rare commodity, not often found in a grocery store. Aside from its far superior taste to the large commercial farmed beef, the health benefits are far reaching. Organic grass fed beef is not fed corn or soy products which are almost always GMO. Genetically Modified Organisms (corn and soy) have not been properly tested on humans and several studies have shown there is reason to question the safety of us eating them, or what we eat that eats them!
Organic grass fed beef is also free of routine antibiotics, hormone therapy, and the animals are typically raised more humanely. Antibiotics and hormones that we can absorb through contaminated meat can wreak havoc on our systems.
