Ode to Grass Fed/Finished Beef

Oh you beatiful bovine, roaming on Earth's bounty

The ground below so green is your sustenance

Sky above you, your life is simple

No grain is needed to nourish you

No antibiotic to cure your ills

I am grateful for your sacrifice!

If you have not discovered Grass fed/finished beef yet, it's time to look into it. These cows live a good life, and eat the grass and flowers they were meant to eat. In the winter they only eat hay. This ensures that their omega 6 to 3 ratio is something close to 3:1. Just remember cows are fed grains to fatten them up. Grain changes the omega 6 to 3 ratio upwards of 10:1. Cows are not meant to eat massive amounts of grain. Grain bad grass good! Not to mention the wonderful efforts sustainable farmers use to keep there animals healthy and clean. Not to mention how inhumane conventional cattle farming is, and how toxic the pollutants are.

Need to order some grass fed beef, bison, pastured chickens, turkeys or pork?

u.s. wellness meats offers a good selection, but be careful, I'm not sure everything is grass finished

north star bison has tasty bison options, and since it's operation is in Wisconsin, it is most sustainable for the midwest

Welcome To Mike's Healthy Caveman

Thank you for looking at my blog site! It is my hope that you will return to learn more about the future of health. My experiences have led me down a long and winding path of different health practices, and I believe much of what I have learned can benefit you.

Without getting to in depth (I'm on vacation after all!), I am currently a Primal eater, and a Paleo workout fool... I belong to Windy City Crossfit (for those of you who don't know about Crossfit you should check it out : Crossfit). My experiences as an athlete have ranged from soccer to Bagua, Hsing I and Tai Chi. I am a certified yoga teacher (who currently does not practice... more on that later). Alternative health systems I have studied include Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Herbal Therapies.

I have currently been focused on living a more Primal existence ( book credits: "The Paleo Diet"," Good Calories, Bad Calories", "The Warrior Diet" etc...), and have experienced the best health in my life. Looking back, I can't believe how simple the recipe for health is! Simply, as Jack Lalanne once said, "If man made it, I don't eat it!" . Sure there's quite a bit more to it, like turning your workouts back into PLAYouts, and supplementing with powerful herbs, fatty acids and vitamins. At the heart of health though, is living simple!

That's it for now, much more to come!
