Dr. Tabatha Barber argues that grass-fed beef is healthier because an animal's diet determines the quality of its meat. Modern feedlots feed cattle genetically modified corn and soy instead of grass, which she says makes the fat unhealthy.
We always want to be looking for the highest quality of all the food that we, um, that we're taking in. And so when it comes to red meat, when it comes to these animal meats, uh, the red meat especially, we want them to be eating their natural diet just like God intended them to eat, you know, 100% grass-fed beef, pastured chickens, wild-caught fish, you know. Cattle were not meant to eat a bunch of corn not, you know, genetically modified corn and soy. That's what they're given. They're in feedlots and they're given so much junk. They're also given like all this like leftover candy and all this nasty stuff. And, you know, that makes them unhealthy as an animal. It makes the, you know, the, the fat, mostly the fat content of their body unhealthier.
