The Omega-3 fat scam implies that feedlot beef is lower in Omega-3 fatty acids than free-range beef and wild game. The amount of Omega-3 fatty acid in any beef or wild game is strictly a function of the ambient temperature and temperature of the fat. The animal's body produces more Omega-3 fatty acid in the fat just under the hide, especially during winter. Cold fat will become stiff and brittle without the Omega-3 fatty acid. The internal body fat is lower in Omega-3 fatty acid because it is at a constantly warm body temperature. The scam is carried out by selectively testing the fat during summer in feedlot beef and testing free-range beef and wild game during winter months. It is all a bunch of big fat lies.

That's an interesting perspective. Do you have any facts to back it up?

But you would think that it would be intuitive that a cow that is eating lush greens (salad) would have less fat than a cow eating grain just like in people. People who eat more salad are usually thinner than people who eat alot of bread and other grain based foods. Also the fat should have less buildup of insecticides and pesticides than what you would find on an organic pasture. The truth is of course, just like the BSE issue, it is the customers perception that makes the market and determines how much you can charge for your product.

You are correct. Granted, it isn't an organic website but a grass fed website. It was done at California State University in Chico and was published under their grassfed educational website. They are promoting grassfed beef and doing research to support their own cause. Of course they will only publish data that supports their cause. Anything else?Boy, and I thought I was a conspiracy theorist. Who do you want to see a study on grass fed beef by? The feedlot association?

Cattle Rack Rancher":3jyoeedj said:That looks to me like a comparison of grain fed to alfalfa silage (legume) not free range grass fed. These cattle all look to be fed in a feedlot environment, not grazing as normal cattle do. Even so, it also shows that Omega 3 fatty acid is three times as high in the Alfalfa Silage beef as the Corn fed beef so you have proved my point.
