Better Beef

Free-roaming, grass-fed cows are happier -- and they're healthier for you, too, as they are fed no grains, unnatural supplements, growth hormones, or antibiotics.

A March 2006 report by the nonprofit Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) found that grass-fed beef can have up to 50% less fat than conventionally produced beef, and it often has higher levels of EPA, DHA, and ALA omega-3 fats, as well. UCS says that EPA and DHA may reduce the risk of heart disease, and ALA may reduce the risk of heart attacks.
