In this brief conversational excerpt, JJ Virgin explains the difference between grass‑fed and grain‑fed (finished) beef. She emphasizes that while people often choose a healthy diet for themselves, they still consume meat from animals that have been “finished” on corn, soy, and other grains to increase fat. Virgin critiques this finishing practice, urging viewers to consider the impact of feeding livestock the same grain‑heavy diet humans follow, and to favor truly grass‑fed meat.

So grain-fed versus grass-fed beef, what is actually the difference? Grass-fed beef.
What I love most about this is actually not just showing the difference between grass-fed and finished meats and grain-fed and finished meats, but what's showing the difference when you finish yourself that way. You know, here we are eating corn and soy and grains to be on a healthy diet, yet we don't want to eat our cows and pigs that way because why? They use that to fatten them up. Take that home.
