Episode 3227:


Kris Gunnars breaks down the nutritional and ethical differences between grass-fed and grain-fed beef, revealing how a cow's diet impacts everything from fat content to antioxidant levels. While grass-fed beef offers some added health perks like more omega-3s and CLA, the overall benefits may not justify the higher cost for everyone.

Quotes to ponder:


"You are what you eat applies to cows too."


"Though grass-fed beef contains higher amounts of certain nutrients, there is currently no compelling evidence that it’s significantly healthier than grain-fed beef."


"At the end of the day, the choice depends on your preferences and values."
