Grain feeding is also the reason why beef is bad for you. Grass fed beef has an omega 6:
3 ratio in the neighborhood of fish. Grain fed beef can have a ratio of 20:1 or higher and contain up to 50% saturated fats (less than 10% in grass fed).
Growth hormones?
And I just don't trust
Monsanto (rBGH rBST).
