Re: frozen vs. fresh/grain vs. grass

January 28, 2002

well, I'm not an expert or a nutritionist, but everyone here will say

the grassfed. Grassfed animals are much healthier, their fat is

loaded in EPA, DHA, CLA, Vitamins A and D and E.

If you can get past the politically correct emphasis on lowfat

nonsense, http://www.eatwild.com/ is an excellant website on the

nutritional benefits of grassfed animals and also has a list of

suppliers.

Moustafa,

As long as your frozen grass fed only meat is also hormone free

then its the frozen grass fed over the fresh grain fed every single

time. I apologize as I am short on time right now if you'd like a

further discussion on this topic I'm sure the very able members of

this forum will give it to you, however if you need further

clarification just email me at mmarasco@....

Quite frankly I wouldn't eat any meat that was given supplemental

hormones ever even if the meat was hormone free for an alloted amount

of days. Hormones do not need to be added and should never be. As

for grain feeding that is a whole other animal and as justin said

eatwild.com covers that discussion rather well. You also may find

some good info at www.westonaprice.org
