Choose Grass Fed!

farm-raised-cows Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau gives us yet another good reason to eat grass fed meat in this week's blog. Here's an excerpt:

As more research is piling in on the importance of omega-3s in our diet (actually, the correct balance of omega-3 to omega-6) it is becoming clear that feeding cows corn harms not only the cows (who were not genetically designed to eat grain), but the people who eat the meat. That's us. You and me. If the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is too high, you end up with things like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and every other hell related to inflammation.

Kathleen's bio, detailed on her great website, says that she's a radio DJ and screenwriter, among other things - she's obviously a Michael Pollan fan as well. Her blog gives us yet another reminder that some of the best foods for us are those found in nature, grown in the most natural, sustainable ways. We know these things intuitively, but how often do we think about them?
