4. Five Reasons Why You Should Switch to Grass Fed Beef 1. Grass Fed Beef is healthier for you and your family.

7. Five Reasons Why You Should Switch to Grass Fed Beef 3. Switching to grass fed beef can help to keep our environment clean. All cattle eat a lot, and all cattle make a lot of waste. Did you know there are over 90 million head of cattle in the United States? Many of these live in huge feed lots, and the waste has no where to go but down. It seeps into the groundwater, finds its way into the river, and pollutes the water. In fact, animal waste has already polluted many of our waterways. In addition, the corn and grains that is used to feed grain fed beef, has been sprayed with pesticides that not only get into the animal, but harm our environment.

18. Grass Fed Beef vendors are careful with the cattle and raise them with high, strict standards that are beyond and more reasonable than the organic set of rules for the best quality meat your money can buy.
