Red Meat is  Really Not the Enemy!

Red meat has gotten a bad rap in recent decades.  Consumers have been led to believe that meat is meat is meat! In other words, no matter what an animal is fed, the nutritional value of its products remains the same. The underlying assumption is that all red meat is the same; this is simply not true! Grassfed beef tends to be much lower in total fat than grainfed beef and even comparable to a skinless chicken breast. One of the main reasons animals are fed large amounts of grain is that they grow faster. Grain is a more concentrated form of energy than grass and provides more starch and calories. The net result of a high grain diet is fattier beef. Choosing a cut of grassfed beef is actually choosing a tasty opportunity to lower your LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels and your calorie intake!
