Natural Food: Grassfed Beef
Morris Grassfed Beef™ customers can relax and enjoy a boon to their health bite after succulent bite, in spite of daily reports of the problems with the "factory farming" model, from genetically modified foods to pesticides and soil loss.
Did you know, for example, that not all beef is alike? Almost all beef today, even if it is labeled "Natural" or "Organic," is grainfed beef. While beef is one of nature's best sources of protein, zinc and iron, only grassfed beef is high in the nutrients beta-carotene, vitamin E, essential Omega 3 fatty acids, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), and another fatty acid, Trans Vaccenic Acid (TVA).
