Disappear in Cognito Farm

Pastured poultry, eggs and beef are just so much better for you! After all, when the animals we eat, eat the things they're designed to eat, well, they're healthier.

Cows are ruminants and are designed to eat grass. The normal pH of their stomachs is base or alkaline -- but when they are fed grain, candy bars (wrapper and all) chicken litter or other things you would never associate with cattle food, they develop an acidic environment in their stomachs. This can cause ulcers and the need to feed them antibiotics in the Concentrated Animal Feed Operations (CAFOs). Seventy-percent of the antibiotics used in America are fed to animals.

It takes just a few days of feeding grain before a grass-fed cow's meat looses the proper balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Besides a better ratio of Omega fatty acids, 100% grass-fed beef also has more cancer-fighting CLAs, vitamins and other elements.
