re: Grass fed beef

As far as healthy or not, I don't think it is well studied.
FDA says it is fine, Europe bans some of the practices, and consumer groups have been saying for years that it is bad. Without solid evidence either way they are going to feed it to us if it makes them a buck and without evidence I'd rather limit it within reason when I can.

Eating is so complicated today it's really hard to know in many cases. In others we think it is easy. My earlier point was that with most store bought meat we don't really know what it is we are eating. I don't eat strictly grass fed as I don't like the taste as much but I eat it to try and hedge my long term health bet. Most of my grass fed comes direct from a local farm. Some people bet vegetarian. I eat rare steaks cooked in butter.
