This is a debate that will get more "air time" as the years go by and the more studies are done on this subject.
There is a difference in grain fed vs grass fed in the finished animal. The grass fed animal (keep in mind this is how they were fed 100 years ago out on the prairie) will have a more yellow fat on its carcass than the grain fed beef. That is the omega three fatty acids (the ones that are good for you) and beta carotene because of what the animal has eaten. The grain fed beef carcass will have a much whiter fat. Grain fed beef will gain weight faster. There is no doubt about it.
The real problem for me in the grain vs grass is what is in the feed? (Dabes alluded to this down below). It is just what is in the grain or grass being fed to the animal? There are many studies out now that directly link the chemicals being sprayed onto our crops (including grass and corn) to ADHD in our children and type 2 diabetes in adults.
I mean think about it. If you spray something onto the plant and it gets absorbed by the soil or the plant, it ends up in the plant and eventually in the animal and the person eating the plant or animal.
Whatever you choose to eat is up to you. You can eat just candy the rest of your life if you like, or you can attempt to eat healthy.

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
