Switch to grass-fed beef? November 7, 2009
Posted by atharkhan in : Personal , 8commentsOver the last several months, Denise and I have been attempting to reduce our consumption of processed foods. We define “processing” as any kind of alteration from the original, “whole” nature of the food. Wherever possible, we try to either perform that same (processing) step ourselves, or avoid it entirely. As an example, rather than buying ground beef, we prefer to buy a (contiguous) piece of meat and grind it ourselves.
We’ve also been attempting to reduce in general, our consumption of meat and get our proteins from other vegetable sources. Whatever meat we do consume, comes from a store that sells kosher/zabiha meat sourced from a local cattle farm in Illinois.
Now, I am wondering whether to switch to grass-fed meat. The only issue I have is the cost. Do you believe that grass-fed beef is worth the premium price tag? Are there any places in Chicago that you recommend?
