Even though I mostly eat veggies, I do love a quality piece of meat on occasion. It might be braised lamb cooked to perfection. Or I might cook up some bison and pile it high with toppings for a burger. Some nights, I’ll try a beautiful piece of salmon or flounder beside some delicious grilled veggies.
When I enjoy one of these meat dishes, which is perhaps once a week, the one thing I’m looking for is quality.
That’s something you will not and cannot get from commercial meat products.
You see, commercial cattle aren’t raised in wide-open fields eating grass, which is the food they evolved to eat. Instead, they’re locked up in feedlots and fed an unnatural diet of corn grains. This fattens them up and gets them to slaughter faster.
But this kind of diet makes them sick. It damages their digestive system. It gives them liver abscesses. It inflames them. So by the time they get to the slaughterhouse where their fear is palpable, the stress hormones they release into their bodies winds up in the very meat you’re going to eat and they’ve got infected livers and organs. All of the meat in those regions has to be cut away and discarded.
Open your arteries, improve blood flow for a new health miracle...
Did you know your circulatory system has over 60,000 miles of arteries, veins and other blood vessels, if stretched end to end?
But as you age, your blood vessels undergo changes, which may cause them to stiffen, thicken and get clogged.
GOOD NEWS! Doctors have now identified a “Miracle Molecule” inside your arteries that helps OPEN your arteries and IMPROVE blood flow.
It’s what Dr. Valentin Fuster calls it, "One of the most important discoveries in the history of cardiovascular medicine."To you, that means...
- Healthy blood pressure
- Sharper mind and memory
- Skyrocketing energy and muscular strength
- Increased pleasure and passion in the bedroom
- Improved circulation to every cell and organ in your body
Go here to discover a new natural way to significantly boost the levels of this miracle molecule in YOUR body NOW!
And the way these animals are raised is inhumane. The feedlots are disgusting. You’ll smell one long before you see it. This is where the cattle are jammed into enclosures and spend their lives laying around in their own manure. They’re still caked with it when they enter the slaughterhouse.
I guess that’s why more than 40% of all “medically important antibiotics” (meaning that they are used in human medicine) are used by cattle producers.
Nobody Should Eat Sick Meat
Would you rather eat meat from a sick, dirty, obese animal that has been pumped full of drugs that lead to antibiotic resistance; or from a healthy, lively, active and disease-free animal?
Personally, I always go with option number two.
I don’t want a big dose of antibiotics with any of my meals… ones that could fatten me up and expose me to antibiotic resistance or antibiotic resistant bacteria.
The World's Quickest Solution for Ending Prostate and Urinary Misery
This has recently been revealed to be one of the only real breakthroughs in prostate health.
The seeds of a strange fruit (sometimes called "Chinese Apples") hold powerful phytonutrients that are a revolution in prostate health.
In fact, UCLA and Veterans Administration research have now proved this to be true.
Not only that, but it may be the worlds quickest solution for ending prostate misery.
Simply stated, these phytonutrients represent a huge step beyond beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, and other phytosterols alone.

That’s why I always buy grass-fed. And the nutrient profile of grass-fed meat is so much better than that found in commercial meats.
It contains much higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). This acid has antitumor activity, protects against cancer, builds muscle and helps discourage weight gain.
Grass-fed beef has a better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. This is important, because a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is inflammatory. For grass-fed the ratio is 1.53 to1 versus commercial meat at 7.65 to 1. So it’s much less inflammatory.
It also has more glutathione, carotene and vitamin E. Glutathione is often called the “master antioxidant”. It’s great for your immune system and all of the cells in your body. Vitamin E tocopherols, support the immune system, fight off bacteria and reduce blood clotting. And the carotenes make vitamin A that is important to so many of your body systems.
Stay Away from Sick Fish, Too
Eating fish that’s farm-raised is a lot like eating commercial meat. These fish are packed together in tanks, pens and enclosures. So, parasites, viruses and disease are all big concerns.
And, you know what this means, right? The fish farmers have to keep them healthy with the liberal use of antibiotics, fungicides and pesticides.
Many popular types of fish are farm-raised. Salmon, tilapia, catfish and cod are just a few. But farm-raised salmon might just be the unhealthiest of all. Many of them die before they even get to harvest. And those that do survive contain enormous amounts of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs.
The problem with PCBs is that they build up in the fatty tissue of the fish. That’s where all the healthy omega-3 oils are. So, when you eat a piece of farm-raised salmon, you’re getting a substantial dose of these chemicals right along with your omega-3s.
You can see why I always recommend wild-caught fish, right?
Still, even wild-caught fish will contain some environmental pollutants, but at much lower levels. The lower they are on the food chain, the fewer they will contain. (You can cut them even further by removing the skin and organs before cooking.)
Some of your best choices will be wild-caught Pacific halibut, mackerel, Alaskan salmon, sardines, herring, rainbow trout and flounder.
Remember, the healthier the food you eat is, the healthier you will be.
