Frankensteer

I just watched this great documentary called Frankensteer.

It is a very compelling documentary that sounds the alarm on how ordinary cows are being turned into antibiotic dependent, hormone injected, toxic bacteria factories.  And all of this has been done in the name of cheaper food.

 Cows on feedlots are being fed large amounts of grain(predominantly corn) that their bodies are not designed for, causing health problems, which in turns ramps up the need for more drugs.  All of this is being passed on to YOU, the consumer in the way of an unhealthy product.

97% of the beef sold in the United States is grain fed feedlot beef, with only 3% sold coming from grass fed beef.  So that means 97% of us are eating this feedlot meat!

Is it important for you to know where your beef came from?  We have become so detached from our food.  Take a look below at the visible difference between your grain fed and grass fed beef.  Quite a comparison isn't it?

Go ahead and compare the nutrional value of grain fed and grass fed beef.  Not to mention the difference in the E.coli scares.  Oh, and wait...then there are all of the serious health risks from the unhealthy grain fed beef.   Wait, forgot one...then there is the deterioration of the environment, the family farm and the animals welfare.  Minor stuff, really... Can you tell how much I just LOVE feedlots?


Every dollar you spend on beef will cast your vote.  Will you support your local farmers or big business?  Yes, it's more expensive, just like any other quality product.

Consumers, by and large, are totally unaware of the dangers lurking in their beloved steaks, ribs and, most especially, hamburgers.  Get informed and inform others!  I'm kinda begging.

Mooooooooo.
