Thank you, it takes some of the extreme pressure off of the budget, especially now when conventional meat is now as expensive as grass fed was a few months ago 😖

[@allyssarea]

My only concern is glyphosate residue in meat. If Monsanto didn’t take over the planet I’d have zero issue with grain fed beef. When having this discussion most people mention nutritional differences but no one talks about GMO corn and soy and glyphosate residue.

[@allyssarea]

@@NutritionwithJudy when I said “no one” I wasn’t being literal, I was trying to make the point that it’s not really a discussion in the carnivore/youtube sphere when speaking of the differences between grass fed and grain fed ♥️

[@paulhart3812]

It’s not just the Glyphosate in GMO grains, soy and corn… it’s the antibiotics and growth hormones mixed into the feed.

[@angelagrant2943]

Been waiting for a video about this ! Thank you!

[@wraymcclamma4707]

I grew up in agricultural and almost all beef is pastured most farmers do not keep cows locked up on grains only

[@HephaestusDizzy]

yeah...it's expensive to feed cows 100% grains.

[@wraymcclamma4707]

@@HephaestusDizzy right and it takes up to much space. When i hear someone say oh a feed lot cow is so bad for you i want to scream. There is no feed lot cows

[@oliverbrown8038]

Sure but alot of cows can be grass fed for most of their lives butspend their last 2 months on grain, and that makes them as good as grain fed. This is actually quite common, it's what they are finished on in the last 2 months that makes the difference.

[@wraymcclamma4707]

@@oliverbrown8038 I’ve been involved in agriculture My whole life never seen a cow locked in a stall and fattened on grain. They definitely get supplemental feed

[@oliverbrown8038]

@@wraymcclamma4707 right. I live in the UK, things maybe different where you live, I was informed by a farmer they sometimes finish them with grain in winter times as it gets too cold for them to be outside grazing.

[@michael_mathieu_vibrant_health]

I personally get concerned about the accumulation pesticides and antibiotics and GMO’s. I would also love to see some more data on the omega-3 thing. Rob is a little vague about it would take 8 pounds of grass fed beef to give you the same amount of omega-3‘s that you can get in 5 ounces of salmon. I personally eat a ton of extra fat with my meat in the form of trimmings or suet. I don’t know how much fat was marbled into the piece of meat that Rob is referring to for his comparison. This is a great conversation to keep having so thank you!

[@livincincy4498]

He is very honest. Only people getting free meat sent to their door should worry about grass finished dogma. I buy ground beef in large quantities when it hits $1 or $2 per pound at grocery stores. Wild Caught Alaskan Canned Salmon is $2.49 at Aldi. Sardines are less than a dollar per tin. Eggs are about 10 cents each. A variety of animal foods is easy on a small budget.

[@wraymcclamma4707]

Read the labels on that canned salmon I bought some alaskan salmon from there only to see product of Thailand on the label.

[@searunner4898]

Wonderful to see Robb here. Been following him for 10 years.

[@candelaa.7907]

Dear Judy, are you afraid of the mercury in sardines or wild caught salmon? I'd like to know where to get my Omega 3 and calcium from. I can't tolerate diary. Thank you for everything. Your work is amazing.

[@livincincy4498]

Mercury builds up in fish that are big eating other fish. Sardines in tins are finger size. Salmon eat shrimp to be pink. They get arm length. Tuna can be gigantic. Eating more Sardines size fish weekly than you will ever eat.

[@sphereme]

Has anyone heard Robb address the difference between pastured eggs and the cheaper variety?

[@mikw2026]

Would like to know too

[@IndigoAwakener]

I'll admit that some of the Dogma going on in the carnivore arenas is surprisingly militant, hostile and exclusionary. But that's how humans still tend to get, they forget we are all together here to walk each other Home. 💗

[@spaceghost8995]

@@NutritionwithJudy It would be interesting to know about how other mammals deal with liver. I think the most dominant wolf or lion gets first dibs on a carcass, but do they take the whole liver for themselves? Do they all get some of it? If a solitary animal makes a kill does it favor the liver or will it eat just part of it?

[@zanavaughn4517]

@@spaceghost8995 I have a feral cat who, this time of year, catches a rabbit, gopher, rat, mouse, and or bird each day. He does not always consume the liver, only once in a great while. He prefers to start at the head and work his way down and around.

[@emilye709]

How about toxin contamination in meat? Has that been tested in conventional vs pasture raised?

[@sookibeulah9331]

Gabe Brown’s beef has been audited since this was recorded and it was found to have higher levels of Omega 3 than wild Pacific salmon 🐟

[@spaceghost8995]

NO. Very few of us can even THINK about affording grass fed beef. Besides, it tastes awful!

[@estherruth4692]

I buy it occasionally to try to get different nutrients in my diet and I’ve never thought it tasted bad. I tastes very good to me.

[@barkyvanschnauzer3438]

This is so so random and I know it seems so odd. But this year I have developed severe severe allergic reactions to mosquito bites. I have never had this in my life I'm 30. I'm mostly gluten free I don't eat any plants. Any suggestions I'm desperate. This is not a troll job. I've read it could be an auto immune disorder to the enzymes of saliva

[@Adentalgrl]

It's often caused by vaccines.

[@johnmirbach2338]

what about wagyu beef as far as omega 3's ????? 🤔✌🤞

[@johnmirbach2338]

@@NutritionwithJudy thank-you ...

[@damien2198]

Grain (finished at least) fed tastes better

[@tsunami7261]

If corn or grain is better shouldn't hunter put out feeders full of corn and grains to feed the deer a coumonths before hunting so the meat tastes better and make it healthier? If prices for grass fed and grain fed were the same wouldn't all the grain feeders go out of business. Who prefers gmo corn and chemically enhanced grains in their meat?

[@michaelcummings8744]

Is it truly grain fed beef though, or labeled from US and actual processed "pink slime" as ranchers call it? This isn't apples to apples so make sure your cheap beef or tastier options are actually quality parts of the animals versus weird crap.

[@johnmirbach2338]

😁✌👌🖖👍😎

[@tracy3812]

0 vegan slams is fantastic. I’m so tired of arguing.

[@metalgamedog]

grass feed = dogma. shawn baker spent more time eating grain feed than grass feed and found no energy differences ...

[@ramohino]

Everything is GMO now, insects pollinate GMO crops and go to Non-GMO crops spreading GMO pollen to all crops.

[@slten12]

Both Judy and Robb lose your credibility by only focusing on Omega-3 fats. The issue is Glyphosate and other pesticides. Way to miss the most important factor. Best selling sometimes means you have convinced the huge number of dummies out there to buy your book.

[@slten12]

Also, Robb spends much energy on "owning" the vegans. Sounds a lot like Magats and "owning the libs."

[@matthewstewart6426]

I guess I’m an elitist since I eat grass fed, non factory farmed beef
