You CAN choose what the animals you eat have been eating, if you buy your food products direct from the farmer. “Know Your Farmer”! I am a regenerative farmer, having all of my farm now seeded down and grazing animals on it year round. My cattle are 100% grass-fed. No chemicals applied, no synthetic hormones, antibiotic only on an “as needed, individual basis”, just like you would do for yourself. There is a world of difference in the nutrient makeup of animals raised like this, vs. those raised in CAFO’s.

The motto SHOULD be, everything in moderation. Diversity in your diet is important to allow you access to the full range of nutrients… just like it is critically important in my animals diets. When I seed down my land, I am planting as many as 20+ different species, so that the animals get all of the nutrients they require, and thereby, when we eat those animals, WE get all of the nutrients that WE require.
