I have been researching the benefits of eating meat and dairy
products
from grass-fed animals and have to say that once you learn where your
food comes from, you will be ready to stock up on
natural, grass-fed products! Many informative sites are out
there for those who take the time to learn. As a society, we
must educate ourselves and be discerning about what we are eating.
Obviously, there is a connection between what we eat and our
health. If we understand that simple fact, doesn't it also
make sense that the health of animals we ingest is also important?
Numerous benefits for our health, the animals, and the planet are
becoming more and more clear in the form of scientific studies and
grassroots movements from educated individuals who refuse to continue
eating foods that make them unhealthy just so factory farms can make a
buck. I have gathered here some useful resources to help you
become an empowered consumer.
EatWild,
in my opinion, is the best site out there for information and resources
to connect you with local farmers who raise their animals the
way nature intended. The following essays are from their site
by Jo Robinson, investigative reporter and New York Times best-selling
writer. Jo Robinson is the originator and primary researcher of
www.eatwild.com,
a
science-based website that details the benefits of
raising animals on pasture. She is also the author of Pasture Perfect,
the Far-Reaching Benefits of Choosing Meat, Eggs, and Dairy Products
from Grass-fed Animals.
