[QUOTE="Kell-inKY, post: 1313973, member: 23511"] I watched the videos linked to above, not sure what all the fuss is about, his "infographic" seemed pretty much right on the money about how most cattle are still raised on farms eating grass and then sold to feedlots. I did have a problem with the grass fed farmer, something about him just doesn't sit right? Maybe he is too self promotional, I don't know, just something. If someone would lay out what they specifically said that was untrue it might help me understand. Commercialfarmer, not trying to single you out or offend, but I had a couple of comments Aren't these the same geniuses who ground up sick dead cows to feed to other cows? "Efficient" is the major gripe of people wanting more natural foods, those efficient tomatoes and apples at the store suck. I have an honest question, is this statement true? I've read it dozens of times but would like to know if there is something backing it up. Is there some kind of study or something, I know a whole lot of pastures have been turned into corn, is there some way to convert how finishing a steer on corn vs. the grass in that same field would compute? One last thing, just because there are a few loudmouth anti-farming anti-meat activists making noise doesn't mean the vast majority of people don't support farmers. There is a huge back-to-farm movement or farm to fork, or farm to table, whatever you want to call it. All they want to do is buy directly from a farm, eliminate the processing, and the have healthy food for their family. disclaimer: I do not watch "Dr. Oz" but know who he is, and I eat processed beef every day but [i]plan[/i] on eating and selling as much grass-fed as I can produce.
