Avoid Frightening Factory Beef

Just in time for Halloween we wanted to tell you why you should avoid 'Frightening' Factory Beef. To start, did you know that commercially available 'factory meat' can be a cause for concern?

What is Scary Beef?

Scary beef refers to 'factory meat' that's raised in unsustainable and unhealthy Concentrated Animal Feed Operations (CAFO), commonly known as feedyards. In these operations, animals are fed food waste, corn, and various additives to rapidly fatten them up. Regrettably, this constitutes a significant portion of the 'beef' you find at your local grocery store or restaurant. This isn't good for us or the environment.

What is Factory Beef?

Factory beef is the predominant method for raising and processing animals. The animals endure stressful lives in cramped conditions, often with dozens of them confined to a space no larger than a residential yard. They are fed a mix of both natural and artificial substances, and there's often a lack of transparency about what goes into them. The focus here is on profit, and it's possible that animals are given food waste, GMO-modified plants, hormones, antibiotics, and other concerning additives. At Florida Premium Beef, we believe it's important to spread awareness. Transparency is key, and you should always be aware of the origins of your food.

Why is Grass-Fed Beef a Better Choice?

Grass-fed beef is produced differently. These animals are allowed to roam freely on pastureland, feeding on natural and nutritious grasses. The result is beef with 30% less total fat, up to 5 times more antioxidant vitamins (A, B, D, E), and heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. Happy animals lead to better beef, which benefits both us and the environment. Here are some facts about grass-fed beef:

1. Rich in antioxidant vitamins, including A, B6, B12, D, and E, which support skin health, the immune system, and overall well-being.
2. Lower in calories compared to corn-fed beef, thanks to leaner meat with less unhealthy fat.
3. Contains other lesser-known antioxidants like Glutathione (GT), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Catalase.
4. Offers beneficial minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, and zinc.
5. Provides a significant amount of Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce heart disease risk, prevent arterial plaque buildup, and lower cholesterol levels.
6. Boasts a deeper, more intense red color due to higher concentrations of Vitamin E, which has various health benefits.
7. Serves as an excellent source of protein, essential for building and repairing muscles, regulating blood sugar, maintaining strong bones, and supporting hormones and soft tissues.
