ButcherBox Unboxing: What's In Gary's Kitchen

Hey guys. So I get asked a lot of questions about what's in my kitchen, so I always like to do these little Instagram reels about what's in my kitchen. So today I got a delivery from Butcherbox. This is a certified B corporation. If you know anything about certified B corporations, these are sustainable. They also meet all these other requirements for, you know, the social welfare of the company. Meaning they serve not only their shareholders, but they also serve their constituents. So B certified companies just mean that they're not just organic, but they actually have positive purpose on earth. They actually are purpose driven companies. So I use Butcherbox. There's lots of different places where you can get good grass fed, grass finished beef, wild caught fish and free range pasture raised chickens. Remember, you want chickens and cows and fish eating what chickens and cows and fish are meant to eat. They're not meant to eat corn syrup and antibiotics and grains. They're meant to eat grass and bugs and worms and things like that. Fish are actually meant to eat what's in their natural environment. And then when they excrete post digesting food, it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. It doesn't get recirculated and breathe back in like it does with farm raised fish. So I like Butcherbox. So I got a, a bunch of grass fed grass finished. Don't forget grass fed does not mean it's grass finished. Meaning a lot of these cows are pasture raised and then when they bring them into the barns, they actually feed on grains, corns and corn syrup. So remember, we're not what we eat, we're what we eat eats what our food eats. So it comes in a frozen package. There's some nitrate free bacons. Bacons. Bacon. There's nitrate free bacon but also grass fed grass finished ground beef. And this is actually high fat beef. It only is 85% lean. I don't actually like the really, really lean meats because the saturated fat and meat gets a bad rap. The truth is that saturated fat is fine for you if it's in the right fatty acid ratio. Remember, there's two types of these fatty acids you'll hear about all the time. Omega 6, 6 and omega 3. Generally we want these in what's called a one to one ratio. One part omega 6 to one part omega 3. What's happened industrial farming is the omega 6 content of fat has gone through the roof. So some of these food sources are 45 to 1. Even though you want a 1 to 1 ratio, some of the meat has a 45 to 1 ratio. So when it's grass fed and grass finished, it's, it gets closer to this one to one ratio. You're getting healthy amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. I mean, look at these steaks. These are the grass fed rib eyes, grass finished ribeyes, and I've got the, there's chicken in here, there's wild caught fish. These are actually line caught fish that are in here. So wild caught salmon and other smaller fish that are wild caught and they're immediately frozen packaged so they're, they're sent right to your house. So I really recommend these guys at the butcher box because I, I've looked into the company, I've looked into their pricing and I've looked into the quality of their meats. And like I say, they're not the only ones on the market. But if you're looking for good grass fed, grass finished meat, look at the size of some of these fillets that are grass fed and grass finished. So I just thought I'd give you a little tip on one of the places that I use to get meat, chicken, fish and steak and let you know that these are, they are very conscious about the fatty acid ratios in these meats so that when you eat them, you can eat them guilt free. It's just science.
