Most cows are bred to grow to full size at the fastest rate possible. This makes the most profits for Corporate America. Nothing wrong with profits, but read further. The way Corporate America does this is by injecting growth hormones into the cows. The cows are also fed fortified grains with animal meat and leftovers from various animals including cows. Infact, most of these cows have never seen a pasture or even a blade of grass in their brief lives.
This does “maximize” the growth rate of cows and they are ready for slaughter in just over a year (under normal conditions it takes a cow about 3 years to attain full size). During this intense growth process the cows become unhealthy. You can just imagine what would happen if we did this to our kids. The hormones and toxins ingested produce Omega-6 fatty acids that bind to their fat and flesh (including the growth hormones).
When we eat the beef from these cows, the growth hormones that were injected, together with the toxins produced as byproducts, pass into your body. What do you think happens then? Those growth hormones have a similar effect on your body as they did on the cow where the beef came from, making you unhealthy, and inducing unhealthy growth and accumulation of fats and toxins in your body. This puts great stress on your body and your organs. Excess fat and toxins get stored on your liver, pancreas, and other internal organs making your body operate less efficient and creating a vicious cycle of obesity. Ever wonder why all the fuss about fast food being bad for you. It’s not the total calories in that burger that is bad, it’s what is in the meat that is really bad for you!
On the other hand, grass fed cows are a completely different story. They tend to take longer to reach their full size – usually 3 or more years. They contain almost no toxins or hormones in their meat and fat. Yes, they take 3 times as long, occupy more land to graze, area a lot leaner and don’t weigh anywhere close to their unhealthy brethren. That is why grass fed beef is so much more expensive. The difference between store bought meet and grass fed beef is enormous. They are not even close. Its like night and day!
The benefits of grass fed beef are enormous. It is like night and day! Grass fed beef is high in protein, but it also full of antioxidants, iron, good saturated fat, key enzymes, and essential vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, vitamin B-12 and B-6. Grass fed beef actually helps you burn fat. So it is totally worth the extra money.
But in order to fully derive this benefit, you need to understand how much beef to eat, when to eat it, what to eat it with, and what not to eat it with. This knowledge is equally important to understand than which type of beef to eat. All the details and tools to optimize fat burning are too much to cover here.
