Foodie fads are a dime a dozen in the internet age, but grass-fed beef can’t be one of them because it’s really nothing new. Any trip through the countryside is not complete without admiring cows mooing about in fields of green, grazing on what’s beneath their noses. You’ve probably even eaten grass-fed beef before without realizing it. So what’s the big deal? Is “grass-fed” just another label used to trick you into spending more on the same product?
Nope. The majority of beef on the plates of North Americans does not come from grass-fed cows as you might expect. It comes from grain-fed cattle raised in a less than natural setting. So “grass-fed” really tells you something about the way the cattle were raised – both their diet and their living conditions. To find out whether grass or grain is for you, consider some of the differences and similarities between the two, from nutrition to price to environmental cost.
