Is grass fed beef actually better?
With inflation and food prices on the rise, most of us are looking to reduce spending where we can.
Every hard earned dollar we spend must serve us and our family.
Organic, grass fed and finished beef costs more dollars than factory farmed beef. It requires more effort, energy, and attention to produce food in an ethical and life-giving way. The adage “you get what you pay for” rings true.
Our bodies are made of the energy we put into them, primarily through food, water, sunlight, and our thoughts. Organic, grass fed beef is able to give us energy to sustain our lives because of the nutrient and mineral content it contains.

Prioritizing Vitality of Life
The comparison above is an impressive list of differences, but what do these differences between grass fed beef and factory farmed beef mean, in a tangible, quality of life sense?
Grass fed beef is an exceptional source of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals.
Minerals are the “spark plugs” of life. Minerals are the foundation for enzymes, and enzymes are required for every cell to operate and perform its function and to balance hormones throughout the body.
Vitality of life starts at the cellular level, so supporting every cell with minerals is an excellent foundation for creating energy.
Grass fed beef does not do this alone, but choosing grass fed beef is one choice that contributes to a lifestyle that prioritizes living with vigor.
We know that people who are well mineralized experience:
Fewer days missed from work (more productive, less sick)
Higher immune system function
Greater fertility
Improved mental health (bone mineral density is a strong predictor of depression)
In summary, grass fed beef is a better choice because this food is able to support life!
