When it comes to purchasing beef and chicken there are a few words that make a huge difference: Grass-fed (for cows), Hormone-free/No added Hormones, and Organic.
Grass-fed (for cows): The animals are fed a diet of natural grass, not grain. The grass allows the cow meat to become rich in omega 3 oil, iron, and many vitamins and minerals that are missing or greatly reduced in grain fed cows.
Hormone-free/No added Hormones: This means the animals were never given hormone treatments. Products labeled “organic” cannot be treated with any hormones either.
Organic foods cannot be irradiated, genetically modified or grown using synthetic chemicals or other offensive drugs.
