Grass Fed Beef: Can you Trust the Label? - Thomas DeLauer… So unfortunately, we can't even go to the store anymore and trust a label. Yep, that's right. So even if something says that its grass fed beef, it's probably not actually grass fed. We're getting to a point right now with food marketing that we really have to be educated and we truly have to understand. So in this video, I want to help you understand the true difference between grass fed beef and grass finished beef, but I also want to help you understand the physiological and the actual difference of the two in your body.
First off, I want to reference a study that at least points out why true grass fed or grass finished beef is much, much better than the traditional stuff you're going to find at the grocery store. So when it comes down to it, a publication called the Nutrition Journal published a study that took a look at the omega 3 profiles between grass fed or grass finished beef and traditional grain fed. They found that grass fed beef ended up having a 1.5 to 1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6. They found that grain fed beef contained a 7.65 to 1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3. That's a huge, huge difference. I'm going to tell you right now, when it comes down to what you're consuming, the higher the omega 6, the worse the meat or the beef or the actual fat is for you. So let's go ahead and talk about the difference between grass finished and grass fed. Just because something says grass fed doesn't mean that it's actually been fed grass. As long as cattle start out on grass, food marketing allows them to say that its grass fed. Even though realistically what's happening is the cattle are started on grass and then moved to a feedlot and fed grains to finish them. If they ever ate a blade of grass in their life, legally, they can call it grass fed.
The reason they typically feed grain is for obvious reasons. A lot of us here that are watching this video are probably low carb advocates or keto advocates and we know that grains and carbs generally end up causing a lot of weight gain if you're doing them in an uncontrolled fashion. So what do they do? They give these cattle a lot of grains. They give them a lot of corn, they give them a lot of soy, and they put weight on them. It allows them to get more at market. So start them out on grass so you can do the grass fed label, then move them on over to the feedlot and give them a bunch of grains so you can pump the weight on them and then get more dollars for them. That's plain and simple what's happening.
There's a lot of evidence that points to why we really should be leaning towards true grass finished beef. In fact, a lot of research suggests that there's truly a lot more conjugated linoleic acid, also known as CLA, in true grass finished beef versus grain fed beef. Now if you're getting conjugated linoleic acid from a natural source, it is a huge stimulant of fat loss. Now if you're getting it from a supplement, it's a different ball game because that's a plant source that they've artificially modified, so it doesn't really apply there. I've done videos on CLA in the past and you can check those out.
Additionally when you're looking at grass finished versus grain fed, you also have a higher level of what's called glutathione and superoxide dismutase. These are two things that kill off free radicals within the body. So in addition to having a plethora of better nutrients and better fat burning possibilities, you're also having a better detoxing process by going with the option that is truly grass finished versus grain fed.

As a producer of beef which is raised entirely on native rangeland without any hormones , antibiotics, insecticides or wormers, and absolutely no grain feeding, i mostly endorse this video. My reservation in the endorsement is pretty simple. I have far less trust in a corporate scale food distributor than i do in a family scale farmer or rancher.
I strongly endorse shopping for protein at your local farmers’s market, and cultivating a relationship with your local farmers and ranchers. Visit with the producers, check out their farm or ranch, and support those who are producing the food and environmental quality that you want.
There is a lot at stake in the decision to support family scale agriculture over the corporatization of our food supply.
Today there are farmers markets nearly everywhere, and the people selling food there are looking forward to sharing their story with you!
Support your local farmers and ranchers. Eat healthy, be happy.
No time for that develop a relationship crap.
What do they eat in the winter? Our cattle would starve to death without grain and hay in the winter. Of course we all now grain is the product of grass so they are stringing us along.
@@clairdenning9062 we live and ranch in southeastern Arizona. We are fortunate to have year round grazing, as we have no winter snow to contend with, in our lower elevation pastures, and when there is sufficient moisture (not this year) there are strong cool season grasses in the higher elevation pastures. Our cattle are very active browsers, feeding on a wide variety of trees and shrubs, as well as prickly pear cactus during the winter, so we don’t need to feed.
Yeah, except for people who don't live anywhere near farms that supply these things
Yes, I'm a vegan and I support this.
Everyone who eats meat should only buy from local farmers.
It should be illegal to do factory farming.
Yeah folks its time to grow your own cattle.
No, it's time to stop eating dead animal parts.
Mif M exactly
And grass :)
that's what I was thinking. The ONLY way to eat healthy food is to grow your own in the backyard. I literally do not trust anything that is for sale in a supermarket
Horror Hero Comics ,
So if Whole Foods sells it, it must be good......
shop local, enjoy the flavor of your local bio region,
Savor the taste of your ecosystem.
Avoid shiny box industrial food..... just my reaction to your comment..... the horror is in the degrees of separation between where it is grown, and where you consume it. And what is lost along the way.
Just so people know since i have RL experience in this matter. The fat on grassfed beef is YELLOW. Cornfed is the usual white you see in stores. Same goes for the chicken. If its a free range one it has a more yellowish tint to it. Kisses from Greece :)
dragonxx444, thanks for the tip. I am sure that when more health conscious people become aware of the color difference in grassfed and grainfed animals, these corporations will find a chemical means to replicate the color of grassfed fat, and color the meat. It wouldn't be the first time agribusiness has done this. Margin is sold as a substitute for butter, and agribusiness deliberately dyes the margin to look very similar to butter.
Drake Santiago true they might do that. It would be better to really do some research who sell something good in your area.... hard, i know... but worth it
This is actually a very unreliable way to confirm if it's 100% grass fed or not. One, the level of yellow tint depends a lot on time of year the animal was harvested. If it was toward the end of the growing season, the fat will be more yellow. If it was toward the end of winter, it's going to be almost as white as conventionally raised beef. Two, as Drake alluded, businesses very often will use food dyes to meet customer expectations in what it should look like.
pam0077 Depends on your experience's. We have lots of family run farms here so i can only speak for me. So far i have not seen white fat on the cows we have here... maybe im wrong.
Chicken with yellow tint skin is a sure way to tell they over medicate them with antibiotics.
Great video. Here on the west coast of Ireland we don't get that problem as we eat our own cattle. but by god in America it's crazy what people can do and say on their food packaging. Keep up the goodc
Dude!! The fact that you kept it real about the market and that you gave us an option show true care!! Thanks a lot!!!
Definitely agree grass-finished is better than grain-finished, but... The bad thing about this video is that some people will now use it to vilify all non-grass-finished beef. Grain finished beef is still 100Xs better than what the average American eats, so it's still a good alternative for people on a budget.
Tom Lopez Amen, American beef is highly regulated for safety and still is very nutritious.
I agree. While grass-fed, grain-finished beef is not ideal, it surely is much better than 100% grain-fed beef.
But, there are studies that show that even eating grains for a short period of time can alter the fatty acid profile of the beef negatively. There will be a larger ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. At least it won't be as bad as 100% grain-fed.
Really disappointed in the FDA for allowing this to happen :( Great video Thomas, thank you for this information!
The FDA has a revolving door to FOOD INC.
Greed...
Yes I was a competitive NPC bodybuilder a few years ago. I made a decision to eat healthy meats. Fish, Foal, Beef, for myself and the animals. Well I learned 90% of what you even find at places( Whole Foods, Spouts, ect) were doing this and worse! I was highly disappointed . Pretty much gave up😔
FDA is a joke.
sabinora yep. And corrupt.
99% of government is a joke, if not 100
I love your channel Thomas and have learned so much from you. I have subscribed to ButcherBox for about a year now and I love it. You can absolutely taste and feel a difference with the grass finished meat. Not only does it taste much better than conventional meat but it just sits in your stomach much better. No bloating or discomfort after a big steak dinner. It’s like eating wild animal meat the way we were meant to...Your body knows the difference!
I don't like the taste of grass fed beef. I just stopped buying beef altogether. What you say about the FDA and allowing corn to be labeled as grass confirms my belief the FDA can't be trusted, they do NOT have consumers best interests at heart.
I love grass fed, grass finished so much more then typical soy fed beef, I have discovered bison also, enjoy that. I'm finding that the carbs from vegtables are inflamming my joints, so I'm staying away from them, going heavy carnivore for now. I do love pasture raised chicken nom nom nom.
I don't know how people don't like the taste of 100% grass-fed beef. It's like eating a spoon of conventional grain-fed butter and then tasting some raw (or even pasteurized) 100% grass-fed butter. The flavor difference is astounding! And the health differences are also astounding. Grass-fed is the way to go.
That’s because America is seen as a corporation by some and not a country. Still love my country though and have hope for it.
I really appreciate you took the time to talk about your take on sponsorship and content on UA-cam. Always looking forward to your videos!
I straight up bought a month to try it out. Here we go.
I appreciate the plug when it's quality and it really seems like you only plug quality Thomas. Thanks man for all the work you do.
I really like the way that you brought up the plug. As soon as I saw it popping up, I thought to myself, here we go. But you immediately fixed my perception of the situation by talking to us like real people. A+++ delivery on the video as well as for the info. I'm excited about trying the grass "finished" route
As a 100% artisan grass farmer, I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are standing up for this vital truth. 100% pasture raised and fed is what humans were designed to consume. Grain feeding ruminants is not natural, it is a a short sighted profit hack. The only way consumers can be certain of honest grass finished meat, is to establish a relationship with a farmer and by directly from them. Farmers are more honest than grocery chains
This was very educational! Please keep on making similar videos whenever possible
Fantastic vid as always Thomas!
Same thing with "free range" eggs. All that means is that a door was opened that gave the chickens access to the outdoors, whether they actually went outside is a completely different story.
Really mindblowing info every video!
Yep I already knew that. Sad thing is not a lot do so kudos to you for doing a video on it!
Other grass fed websites I have gone to immediately tell your their commitment to the planet, animals, people's health. They describe their farming practices and answer common questions. They list their pricing in an easy to find manner. Butcherbox has nothing like that. Does not look legit at all. Why should I put in my email for bacon (which I don't even eat) when I only want to find out about the company? On another note, great video!!
I just received my first butcher box few days ago. I am very impressed with there packaging and the meat tastes sooo good. Thank you for sharing the connect!
Good job as always I've been thinking baout this lately and you so happen to post it
Thank you for this video Thomas ML 💕
Love this info. Not wanting GMO or pesticide ridden grains in your diet is one thing, but gaining the understanding of how the grain diet for the cows impacts the Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio is priceless info. Thanks, Thomas. I tried the Butcher Box service with 3 extras, on an every other month delivery, and have to say, the meat is beautiful. It would be nice to know what you are getting, but being able to choose the add ons does help make sure you will get enough of what you want. I am very pleased with the order. I have found a local dairy farm that is fully pasture raised for beef, pork, chicken, and makes raw milk cheeses, also organic, obviously. They deliver to your door for $1.50...omigosh...can't believe it. I like being able to go to the farm and see their practices first hand. I'll definitely be patronizing them also. They don't have bacon all year around and they do use sugar in smoking the bacon, so think there is room for me to keep the Butcher Box order going bi-monthly as well, and focus on eggs, cream, butter, cheese and some meat from the local guys. If I can help a local producer be able to keep their farms sustainable...gotta go that route as much as possible.
Thank you for this video, Thomas! Walmart’s grass fed beef also says “grass finished”! 🙌🏻
Thank you, Thomas. I thought I understood this topic, but this greatly informed me further. I'll definitely check out Butcher Box.
You are always so informative and well spoken. Thank you!
Ashley Jordan thank you for watching!
Intrigued by this "Butcher Box" thing!! DEFINITELY going to check it out!!
Thanks again for the spot on info!!!!! So much of what makes good meat is how the land and animals are treated. Get to know where it comes from, as in the ranch and the country it came from much more to learn than what the label will tell you.
Great video...thanks for sharing!
Stephanie thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow super good information. why is this the first time I'm hearing of this!
Thank you for this info! I never would have known about “grass finished” beef! Once again, WOE TO THE LAWYERS !
Great video Thomas, you should write a book or have a blog.
Totally cool with product plugs if they’re good
Simply nature ground beef claims to be grass-finished.
Why can't anyone spell anymore?
Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. Butcherbox has less information on their website than many of the other grass fed beef suppliers I've seen. Heck, they don't even tell you what they put in their standard subscription boxes. No thanks. Here are a few online companies I've researched that I fully trust sell 100% grass fed, grass finished beef: US Wellness Meats, Slanker, and Dutch Meadows Farm.
I work at natural grocers and this past year we started carrying a brand called thousand hills that is "lifetime grazed 100% grass fed beef" and it's about the same price as other grass fed beefs. Lifetime grazed :D
Overpricrd af were buying bulk yet its still 11-13 dollars per pound of ground beef
Wow, your channel is so informative. Learning so much ,thanks for sharing your knowledge to the public.
Love this channel !!!!
Travis Roberts thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoy the videos!
WOW , eye opening, Good look Thomas as always keep it coming.
neil felton thank you for watching!!
One of your most enlightening videos yet. Thanks Thomas. I hope for a day where we don't have to worry about this shady nonsense when it comes to our grocery stores.
Very informative video as usual! Thank you for this life changing info 💙
Jessica Little thank you for watching!!
Very enlightening video. Thanks.
Ryan Ashton thank you for tuning in!
Very informative thank you
Thanks Thomas, great information! This enforces my decision to buy direct from a local farmer here in up-state New York. There are a few farms around where the beef is range fed, I can even pick my cow if I want. No, I don't want... I will partner with some friends or family buy the whole cow and have it butchered and packaged. Then put it in the deep freezer in the basement. Love your videos!
Wow thank you so much this is so helpful
I just ordered my first box! Thank you for the clarification on meat and reassurance on what I’m spending my $$ on!
Great stuff.. thank you
People that get upset when you do a product plug are also the ones that are downvoting your videos when you don't "agree with them". Many of us are here to learn and so long as your product plugs are honest, I'll always be a supporter. :) Thanks again for all you do.
Just signed up for a monthly box with ButcherBox! Thanks Thomas! I used your code!
Im in UK its got me thinking about our government and food labelling ... im going to try the lean meat approach and plant fats and see if I can kick start my 6week plateau ... great video
Thanks goodness i live in ireland, an have quality grass fed beef everywere.
Good channel brother
Thanks Thomas!
Please give us more on this subject.
Please start your own grass finished farm for us.
Unfortunately that butcherbox website sucks. No info or pricing. When I gave them my email to move forward, all it does is give a "price per meal" which means absolutely nothing to me. So I closed it down and won't return.
Please work with getting funding, but do so with a good company with honest and upfront pricing on their products. Not a company that uses "used car sales" practices to sign people up.
Max D absolutely right! This is what I've been saying all along I exclusively look for grass-fed grass-finished I want to trust them but how do you trust a company that still sources out to other companies? and what are THOSE companies feeding the animals? When a company asks you for the email like that as far as I'm concerned they're selling your email. Exlnt video though!
Not sure what your doing, I got prices just fine 🤔
Max D -- Unless I'm missing something, they price only by subscription. I find that rather odd, add it would very inconvenient. I wanted to compare prices and help support these videos, but I think I'll stick with my local company.
I work at natural grocers and I'm just a cashier but this past year we started carrying a brand called thousand hills that is "lifetime grazed 100% grass fed beef" and it's about the same price as other grass fed beefs. Lifetime grazed :D
Thanks Chrissy, I will check it out.
Do you make personalized mealplans for customers? Would love to follow something like that from you. Learning new things in every video you post!
Thomas, I love your channel and all of your content. I am an avid promoter of a healthy keto lifestyle, too. But I want to add a small caveat to the info provided in this video. I have a Bachelors in Animal Sciences and have studied the in's and out's of livestock health/nutrition and crop production in not only the U.S. but on a global scale as well. Dry Distillers Grains (or DDG's) are byproducts of ethanol production. For example, most DDG's used on feedlots are from corn ethanol production. However, not all DDG's are made from corn. You see, you can create ethanol from any plant containing starches. This includes many grasses (like alfalfa for example) which are commonly fed to cattle. So not all DDG's are corn-derived. This is why the USDA allows the "Grass Fed and Finished" label to be put on certain beef products, because those cows were finished on DDG's derived from the ethanol production from grasses, not corn. Thus, the cattle are still completely grain free. I hope this clears some possible confusion for consumers that read through the comments. It is no secret that advertising/marketing specialists can be sneaky and tricky, so I always recommend looking into where and how your food was raised/grown before it ever enters your mouth! Keep up the great work, Thomas!
Donavon Gazalski - hi from a fellow Animal Scientist, watching the rumors on these food channels is nuts, so few understand any ruminant is simply feeding its microorganisms with these plant sources, then that nice cow or deer or bison really eats the microbes, I personally like the idea of mostly grass fed, with just a bit of grain at the end for marbling, I don't see any harm in GMO, just selective breeding sped up
The jump that the effects of the grain on livers of cows is going to be equal in humans really discourages me from believing that research is truly going into these videos.
@@jodymaley3674 LOL selective breeding sped up? The things they are doing wouldn't occur in nature, if given a billion years. Sped up. yeah ok
I appreciate you're honest, trustworthy, integrous approach Thomas. Please don't ever let us down. We need truth. Keep up the good work!
D W I appreciate that! Thank you for tuning in!!
Thomas, thank you so much for this valuable information!
Jake Romero thank you for watching!!
Another major reason the industry prefers grain finished (and the reason that cows are induced to calve in Jan or Feb instead of April): if they calve early and sell them to feedlots in Oct/Nov, they don't have to overwinter the steers, and put up/buy more hay for them.
Thank you for the clarification.
Like the knowledge that you put out there for free thanks for the info. your helping people wake up to what's really good for the human body
I have a friend who is a straight carnivore and wrote a book about carnivore diet. I told him I was buying grass fed meat. he said don't waste your money it's all grass fed. I asked the butcher at Sprouts about the label grass fed. He said the beef not marked as grass fed is fed grass but the last year to fatten them up they are fed grains . Grains means corn. Dog foods use a lot of corn which I never feed my dog. I asked him what they feed pork now. He said Purina makes a feed for pork and horses. I never feed my dog Purina because most of it is junk dog food. Now after this video I am back to BS on the grass fed. Thanks for informing Tom!
This was a great vid. We need to promote the really good stuff.
This is the 3rd name/channel that someone mentions Butcher Box. Thanks.
Glad this went into detail, as I first heard the term 'Grass finished' on another channel. . but didn't know what he meant . Thought he was confused for a second. .
Wild
Thanks!
Great information :-)
Love your information!!!!!!
Lucid glad you enjoy the video! Thanks for tuning in!!
I have a few friends that farm. One of them, every 2 years, I buy a "side" of a Steer. I know how he farms, and have seen the land where they are raised. One time I cut up the side myself and packaged it, but no more, now I have it butchered at a local small farmers co-op owned packers plant. I need a good size freezer for all of that meat, and the last time it was 600$ ( thats at least $3000 in the store) I would have more if I cut it myself, but its brutal work, bravo to people that do it. The point is this. Go to any farmers market. Ask around if any of the people selling there know any ranchers that sell direct to people. Lots will because you can for cash. Visit that ranch. This is the best way to get the actual meat you want. the only drawback is most of the meat you will be now thawing from frozen, but its not a deal breaker when it is this cheap to do so. I have a native Indian friend that is trying to get a few of us to go in on a buffalo, that will be my next meat purchase. But its waaaaay more meat than a Steer. Good luck!
i LOVE Butcher Box! thanks for the tip, i order from them often!
Good job Thomas!!
chispun2 thank you for tuning in!
Hi, In Canada we truly have grass fed beef. You can't call it that unless it spent its life grazing. When I was a kid we would camp in the Rockies and there were pastures full of cows all over.
If you do not only want to rely on product placements you can easily use Patreon as well. I bet there are enough people out there that are willing to donate a $1 a month for keeping this great content alive. In addition you can give back to those distributors easily with special Q&A's for Patreon supporters, etc.
But good informative product placement - especially if it is a good product that you can 100% support - is not really negative.
Keep up the great work.
No people are cheap and he will never see enough $$$ to keep putting out this product. He can place all the products he believes in on his channel. I am a big boy and can fast forward or choose not to view his stuff.
@@rdrake316 not everyone is cheap. If someone is deeply passionate about what he stands for, they will donate.
Similar problem with the labelling of 'free range' eggs. They let the chickens out of their cages for a hour a day just to get the free range tag.
The good thing about eggs are that it's easy to identify the quality of the egg by it's yolk & it's shell. Yolk should be a deep orange & it's shell is a lot thicker than your typical commercial egg.
Great vid.
Abe Lee glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!
Thomas I appreciate you doing product plugs as I want to know what I should be eating. Because of you I’m now using Kettle and Fire Bone Broth which I k ew nothing about before watching your videos.
Thank you for this !
The wandasncredible Channel thank you for watching!!
Great video 👍👍
JT and Pin glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you tuning in!!
Wow great topic..thank you
Louie Ash thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Something I didn’t know until now. Thought I was buying the right stuff, appears not. Going to have to start sourcing my products elsewhere. Thanks heaps.
I remember there was a time when Del Monte here in the Philippines grew cattle that were fed scraps from the pineapple canning production. So they would feed the pineapple tops and pulp left over from the juice production to the cows. I know technically it's not grass but I think it's better than grain fed... wish they will do that again... it produced a slightly sweeter beef. Though marbling is not high.
Thank you, good guy.
Awesome content! He is totally right.
Folks, spend some time bouncing around the net watching videos that the farmers and ranchers make about what they do and why. Its the best way to feel good about your purchase and trust that what your buying is what you think it is. Better yet, go cows life on the ranch is the most critical to its health, it takes the longest time and it's the most expensive part. The cheapest way is rarely the best way. Spend more on your food and your health and how you feel will be awesome
Thanks for this! Also, would love to hear your thoughts on see a vid on distilled vs. alkaline vs. spring water, especially during fasted window.
I work at natural grocers and this past year we started carrying a brand called thousand hills that is "lifetime grazed 100% grass fed beef" and it's about the same price as other grass fed beefs. Lifetime grazed :D
I got my first Butcher’s Box a couple of weeks ago. Really food stuff.
SHHHAAABBBOOOMMM.... YEP!!! That's right... I'm always telling my wife not to buy into what certain labels say... usually if something says 100% fat-free... I tell her, yea, now look at the carbs to sugar ratio... and it's usually JACKED... the marketing strategy usually hooks the consumers focus only to mislead you in another direction!!! But, I still love marketing. Awesome vid Tom, thanks for sharing this and keeping it real bro... peace.
Ironclad Confidence ........went to whole foods back then, right before they went through their sales scandal. Short story....my gf had been there, I hadn't. I walked around looking at the prices...laughing. Stupid ass people. I immediately wanted to go over to the meat section and low and behold more propaganda, marketing horse shit. A sign said "100% Angus" beef. I asked the "butcher" about it and got a preprogrammed response. I asked him to prove it....tell me what he knows. Again nothing. He got mad and I told him to , "calm down I'll tell you". So I did. He is a consumer just like me. As a cattleman I educate people when and where they are being cheated about beef. It serves me and serves them. FYI: since your wondering the meat came from a massive corporate feedlot and processing facility ~250 miles away. Moral of the story, they were selling over priced, false advertised, old, nasty, corporate, feedlot beef.
China loves that crap, apparently. Lol
Thank you for all the wonderful information. Love the science! How much bone broth should one consume in a day?
Unbelievable! Corn without starch becomes grass- scary. Thank you so much for this information. I will definitely check out Butcher Box. I appreciate good reputable, vetted resources
Great info for Carnivore diet, thanks!!!!
Great video analysis as always Tom I like all your videos. Although you've never replied to any of my comments.
It won’t ever be easy, will it. Thanks for making an effort, Thomas. Breaking down the science, before science(and rethoric) breaks down you.
It's a shame that Grass Finished beef is something most Americans either have no access to, or the financial resources to purchase. I myself have been leaning more to a Carnivore Diet. It's about all I can do to afford to eat regular beef. My access to grass finished is only at Farmer's Markets. I have to drive an hour to get to one that has beef.
It's just gonna be tougher to get in the future, the better alternatives will be to either raise your own animals or hunt, and those two things are what we should all be doing anyways.
You should really cut down on the meat . Studies show higher protein diets have a lower life expectancy . Go keto . I love it and feel amazing .
Glen M The only reason someone took the time out of their day to talk shit on this comment has everything to do with the "suffering of sentient beings" and nothing to do with the care for the health of humans.
He is in awesome shape. Wow. I wish I had continued to take good care of myself.
Thanks!!!
I like the plugs. I'm not likely to buy the products, but they give me a point of reference if I end up seeking out alternative products to what's locally available. For example, I've added in mushroom suppliments to my vitamins and keto regimen. Had it not been for watching Paul Stamets, I would be less skeptical of different sources of mushrooms and would likely go for a low cost high count bottle of cordyceps rather than looking into efficacy, sourcing, species identification and accuracy, and so forth. Keep the plugs!
Also, I like that you use lots of cut footage with your family. I like family values, and I think they're in decline. For anyone trying to shift from an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthier one, it's important to note that your family (chosen or otherwise) can play a significant role in your success, and you are an important component in their lives as well - which is part of why you want to be healthy (I'm sure most of you already considered this early on however).
Very interesting! 💗 Greetings from London! 🇬🇧
Cristian Gabriel Groman thank you for watching!!
Hey Thomas, let me help you out. When it comes to feeding cattle corn the FDA (and USDA) mean the corn plant. Ranchers typically produce cattle AND they also farm corn and other grains. After harvest, it is common practice to allow your cattle to graze on the remaining bi-mass in the field. And as you may or may not know, CORN is a grass. So allowing cattle to graze on it does not disqualify the cattle meat from being classified as Grass fed as it did scientifically graze on grass. The removal, which is actually stated as a reduction of STARCH is obtained because the starch from the dent corn is already harvested from the fields and the remaining biomass provides the rancher now with 1000s of acres of bushel bales of grass. You are correct. Grass Fed doesn't mean that the cattle is grassed on open pasture but just that is has eaten grass at some point in its development. The economics of meat production still leads a rancher to find ways to get a heavy animals to slaughter because $/head is how they get paid for all of the investment they have made prior to its sale.
wow great video thanks
Allen Stokes thank you for tuning in! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Leaving the nest and just ordered my first box of grass finished :)
Hey Thomas, I just want to start by saying that I love you information packed videos. Nonetheless, I recently came across a UA-cam channel that contradicts many of the UA-camrs that I follow and would like to know your take on this channel I just found. Anyways, the channel is Dc Sam Robbins and there he discusses lots of topics like IF and keto. I'm not trying to talk bad about anyone or their beliefs, I'm just looking for validation on Dc Sam's research because I do follow a keto diet with IF(OMAD) and have given advice on these topics. Hope to hear back from you.
It is sad, that in US is so many farms where you cannot see any animal, cause all are indoors fed with corn which is destroying soil.
I LITERLY GOT AN ADD OF YOU ON THIS!
can't trust gov't and industry. find a local farmer.
We can't even trust video makers sometimes they make a hand sign that looks like a suspicious allegiance to a secret society. The goal maybe to give the public half truths. Your local farmer advice is very wise.
Can you trust local farmer labels? I all for it is so
@@wisdomandlove1661 -lol
I am sure you make hand signs everyday unbenonce to yourself.
Thanks thomas
Yacine D thanks for tuning in!
No grass in the winter time. Must be fed. USDA choice beef is the healthiest. Grocery store usda select cuts of meat are from dairy or older cattle
