There’s an intense discussion going on in global community about health benefits and environmental impact of eating various types of meat. We have been told that red meats are really not healthy, but also that environmental impact of raising cattle is quite significant. The comparison is usually unfair, because most of the chicken and pork consumed in the US are raised in operations where feed is almost all soy and grains, and animals are being raised indoors, with no exposure to sun or fresh air.
Key Takeaways:
- First of all, the vast majority of chicken and pork in the US are raised in indoor operations where the animals never see any sunlight or fresh air.
- Beef fat is also one of the richest sources of a particular healthy saturated fat called stearic acid, which studies show reduces your appetite.
- So although grain-finished feedlot beef is inferior both environmentally and nutritionally to grass-finished beef, it’s still better than most chicken and pork.
“I’m going to show you why BEEF is actually significantly more nutritionally healthy for us (AND environmentally healthy and sustainable too) than any type of chicken or pork.”
