There's an asterisk there because some farmers can get away with this by feeding hay, which is not fresh grass on a field, or even grass pellets. So there was a picture or a video that went around the internet recently of cows indoors getting fed grass, and that is grass-fed.

It's not ideal, but it's better than a grain-fed cow on a clustered or concentrated feeding animal operation, so a CAFO, or a factory farm. So grass feeding is better, and again, it's unfortunate that it's become so arduous for humans to have to really understand the quality of their meat. But if you see the cows that you're eating and you're talking to a farmer, that's the best thing.

I know it's not possible for everyone listening to the podcast, but if you can understand the quality of your meat and where it's coming from and how it's raised, that's better. So grass feeding and grass finishing ideally should be cows on pasture outdoors. you know, pooping and peeing in the land because that's also better for the land. That's the way it should be.

If it says grass-fed in the store, it really is meant, unless the farmer is being totally duplicitous, it should be fed grass its whole life. There's an interesting little sidebar here, and I will call Whole Foods out for this, and I've done content on this. There is meat at Whole Foods that says grass-fed or grass-finished, and there's meat at Whole Foods that says pasture-raised.

And so that pasture-raised designation does not mean the cow is eating grass its whole life. And you can ask the butchers at Whole Foods and they will be forthcoming with you and say, it was on pasture and then it was fed grains at the end of its life. So that's where it gets confusing for consumers because pasture-raised sounds pretty good to me, but that's not a grass-finished cow.

And do I think that eating grain-fed meat is bad for humans? No. I think that eating grass-fed, grass-finished meat is better for humans and better for the ecosystem in which the cow is raised.
