RE: Re: grass fed?

I don't know why, but my post did not show up in email. Here goes again:)

Summer

I buy most of my pasture fed meat from local farms or through my co-op. Cows

have not developed stomachs able to digest grains well, and those fed grains,

even with heavy vitamin/mineral supplementation, are unable to digest and

assimilate all their nurtients....because they develop leaky gut. This also

leads to bacteria overgrowth and additional toxins stored in tissue and muscle.

Beef naturally has high amounts of omega 3, with a smaller omega 6 ratio. In

the commercial meat industry, the opposite is true, the beef has negligent

amounts of omega 3's and high amounts of omega 6, in addition to the toxin

buildup.

Pasture raised, organic meat tastes better, has a great flavor, and you will

find that going back to grain fed meat, tastewise, is very hard.

Beware some people who may pass of meat as pastured, when they are really only

free range but being offered grains. Cows will forgo the pasture for grain

treats, like my autistic son will forgo whole foods for taco bell. I always

check out my food sources throughly, even if store bought.

Milk and meat from 100% pastured animals are less likely to carry salmonella,

ecoli and other subsequent infections that infect people, because like the

principles of SCD, they have healthy gut and healthy gut flora!

If you live in my state of Washington, I can hook you up with 1/4 pasture,

organic well cared for cow that is being raised for me and some friends, $2 a

pound. It will be ready this october/november.

Also, if you live in the co-oping area for my co-op www.azurestandard.com,

which delivers for free at drop points all along northern california, oregon,

washington, alasks, parts of idaho and montana, you can get the famous pastured

Piedmontese beef, an old breed of cattle from Italy that, according to the USDA

study, shows the highest CLA present. Polyunsaturated fat, like in healthy

cattle, carry the essential fatty acids that our bodies can not produce. In

fact, cholesterol lebels of Piedmontese are less than that of store bought beef.

Pastured animals are also less likely to have high levels of cadmium and

arsenic in their bodies, with the exception of land areas being treated with

chemical fertilizers. Feeds, if not organic, often are supplemented with

cadmium, as it puts weight on cattle, and there are those that extropolate,

since cadmium, a heavy metal toxin, is hard pressed to leave the body, it is a

fattening element for humans.

These are just barely scraping a few reasons why pastured animals can be

healthier and part of a healing diet and/or a healthy diet. I know quite a few

of my fellow members on the SCD websites only eat pastured meat.

One last note, free range animals tend to get copious amounts of natural

sunlight, leading to the formation of strong bones and healthy organs, which

translates into healthy meats. Not only are the hormones fed to animals under

suspicion as endocrine disruptors, but the hormones produced by not so healthy

animals tend to build up, especially with taxed liver capability and leaky gut.

The organs have to work too hard. Natural sunlight, fresh air and exercise are

needed for the animals immune system and other organ systems to function

healthily, thus reducing metabolic waste generated by the animal.

A person who receives no natural sunlight, exercise, or fresh air, can eat the

most healing diet available, and still struggle with sickness. It is not

healthy.
