Overview

Y’ALL! It was SO unctuous, fatty, & tender.
DM or comment & I’ll send you the link to order the beef🍖🤗✔️
❓❔One of the most common questions I get asked is if beef is healthy to eat.
Here are my thoughts…
✔️Beef raised in factory farms is often fed processed grains, soy, or other foods that they would not be eating in nature if foraging on fields & grass. Therefore, this type of beef is higher in pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid & lower in vitamins, minerals, & Omega3 fatty acids as compared to grass-fed & finished beef
✔️Additionally, any food choice, including beef, should be discussed with your health care practitioner because everybody has different goals & health concerns. There is no dietary plan that is one-size-fits-all… for ex some people made feel better on a keto diet vs others a plant-based diet.
✔️The other follow-up question I usu receive is, is beef a poor choice bc of the environmental impact? In fact, agriculture and beef is a very small percentage of environmental emissions AND grass-fed & finished beef (due to its high plant density on pasture) may have a positive impact on the environment. I spoke with the owners of Beaver Brook Ranch about it in a recent TV episode.
