Gary Brecka buys organic, grass-fed, grass-finished red meat because cattle raised this way aren't given hormones, antibiotics, or vaccinations, and sick animals are removed rather than medicated. The result is better omega-3 to omega-6 ratios and a complete protein source with all essential amino acids.
So what's the importance of grass-fed, grass-finished meats? Well, I'll tell you. Now there's even lab-grown meat. We won't even go there. But I always look for organic grass-fed, grass-finished meats. Why? Because the omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio is there. And generally, these are the cattle that are not vaccinated. They're also not raised with hormones or antibiotics. When the cattle get sick, they actually separate them from the herd rather than give them antibiotics. Those antibiotics get into the meat. So do hormones. So do vaccinations. So organic grass-fed, grass-finished meat is going to have the perfect ratio of fatty acids. It's also packed with protein, all of the essential amino acids that the body needs. So if you're not a meat eater, now might be the time to start.
