I know grass fed is technically better for you and higher quality but I've done both and honestly don't see the hype in terms of flavor and texture profile. I guess because I always ate grain fed as a kid? Grass fed doesn't satisfy me the same for some reason. The taste is a bit off to me every time. But how do you feel?

I just had Corned Beef from a can for the first time today. It was Great Value brand to boot. I enjoyed it more than a freaking cheeseburger and i put mustard and hot sauce over it and ate the whole damn can in blissful, gluttonous, pleasure. I am officially a peasant.
Unless we buy a "hyper-fancy" brand where we are, info can be obtuse to missing regarding how the cattle were raised.
Many cattle are pasture/grass-raised (for most of their early life) and grain (or feedlot) "finished" before being brought to market.
Wet aging is considered helpful for improving the flavor of (solely) grass-fed primal cuts brought to market. Ref: "Pasture-Based Finishing of Cattle and Eating Quality of Beef", Fred Martz, Professor Emeritus, Univ of Missouri.
I've had grass fed. And it's not better quality. its tough and flavorless. its also cheaper for the farmer. so of course they're going to push it. And for it being healthier, just go vegetarian if you're that worried.
i seriously sat down with my dad today and split a pound of 80/20 grass and also a pound of grain and yes can confirm the grain fed just tasted better in tacos and everything. i really dont understand the hype.
Couldn't tell ya. I've only bought a grass fed rib eye once. And for it being, i think it was $12 a pound? It was horrible. I'm better off getting some chuck and braising it with some veggies and stock. It'd be cheaper and tastier.
most people dont have a clue about what theyre eating anyways. They dont have distinct taste buds or a trained palate. they can eat grassfed or grain and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
I'm not a proper chef but my grandfather was and he taught me lots. However I personally have weak taste buds and freely admit that. Something to do with my sinus I believe. I require extra spices for my food. Most places make pizza that can't satisfy me so i have to bring a garlic shaker to the pizzeria and plan accordingly WHEN i can eat pizza so not to smell like a damn breadstick. I have to cook my meals separate and it drives me crazy. I don't know if there is any way around it. When I have some high acidity with the food it helps a bit but I dont drink much. I use vinegar quite a bit to help my palate.
Yeah I don't know. When I taste other peoples cooking it’s like, you eat THAT everyday? It’s a lost skill and people just order out now to get decent food.
I’m a carnivore / primate diet I eat raw meat raw salmon fish chicken and beef , liver. And drink raw milk. Cow animal milk,, not almond soy bullshit that inflames your brain and believe you are saving the ozone. I can say for sure grass feed is way better : grain fed isn’t bad it’s just that because I can tell the difference.. grain fed might be missing some amazing benefits.
that's interesting! I for one love beef in pretty much all of it's forms. I don't know why but i really love Chuck roast, Ribeye, NY strip, London Broil, and Ground Beef specifically over all the other cuts even Filet Mignon.
I've never been. Are their prices high? On the bright side you got your vitamin B12, Protein, and Iron! ^^ Sorry it wasn't the experience you were looking for. Sounds like lessons learned in pursuit of that beef fix haha!
I just did chicken drumsticks for dinner. Nothing else just a half dozen pieces cooked in the over, skin side up on a rack with a little goya for about 2 hours at 350 degrees. Perfect every time but not steak lol.
So privileged, I have not so far gotten to being able to compare it. Some poor angry fuck gets bullying a whole lot before one can get to comparing stakes (Belgians are notoriously like that - the 'why should you eat steak if I cannot afford it' (meanwhile gambling and wrecking their own lives but insisting someone else must fix it for them)
oh no i get exactly where you were coming from brother, no worries. I had the coffee snobs on me the other day. believe me if I could buy the $25 a lb ground shit, sure. But I can't. I have had some of those lovely coffees though for sure ofc! But rarely! When I used to hang out with friends I had the cheaper DE Factory Smoke cigars on me, I drank pre-ground Maxwell or Yuban, I bought jugs of Carlo Rossi Merlot and E&J Brandy, I ate london broil to their Filet Mignon, etc, etc. They looked down on it a lot... so suffice it to say they didn't stay friends. My home slices that stuck around shared with me and I with them. One thing about the lower classes, you'll find a lot more real people that are down to earth af. I have family that are multi millionaires, no joke. I've been to their mansions, the lavish parties, all that. and you know what? It did nothing for me, they were too fake. The funny thing was that one of their gfs ended up smothering me after I got drunk. Probably because I was the first REAL dude she'd met in that environment. I'm raw and real. And I'm a nice guy. When I'm drunk though I run my mouth... I don't know why girls like shit talkers. When I'm drunk I'm a shit talker and they like that. When I am chilling they usually leave lol. But i can draw them in with real stuff. Just can't keep em haha. But I'm not a faker I'm real with myself and those around me and I will always be that way because I refuse to compromise my principles. :)
I have been getting some grass fed steaks and they have been really good but I also buy steak tips at the supermarket that are grain fed and they are also delicious. I don't think it really makes much different.
Well, I get the grass fed steaks from a place on the internet. They come packed in dry ice. The price is very reasonable. I think in the months to come it will come down to where you can get it.
I cook them but always lost most of the fat. gets annoying as it cooks out. I need about 100 grams of fat a day for my diet. I hate having to scoop it back on so i just hold the meat together with cheese blends. 85% is my personal favorite but I am trying for 76% locally to get more fat. 80 does make the best damn meatloaves though for sure.
Yeah I know what you mean cook them at a lower heat like medium low almost on medium let sit for 7 minutes dont touch it at all then flip it and leave it for another 7 minutes add cheese and done some of the fat will cool out but most people play with them to much and it allows the fat to escape
that might explain your healthy complexion and hair tbh. you also look like you have strong bones. I thankfully have strong bones too and I think it was because i was raised on lots of hard, high quality, imported, cheeses, organic peanuts, and eggs.
I agree but i think both play a role. South Koreans vs North Koreans being a good example of what lack or proper nutrition can do to the body of a developing child.
Northern Euro decent? Just wondering i know strong structure like that tends to be predominant among Scandinavians, Slavs, and Germanic groups. I could be totally wrong in you case I don't know XD
the further south you go in Italy the shorter they seem to get for the most part in my experience. After the fall of the Roman Empire all types of Germanic people settled in the region. But I have broad ass shoulders. Like 2 babies heads for each shoulder from bone structure lol.
In all honesty in a taste test I would bet most people couldn't tell the difference. As for grain or grass fed most is grain fed. It's mostly what I eat.
Definitely the grain, because I don't eat beef, grass fed or not. :-P Grain on the other hand is amazing. I eat a mix of oats, rye and wheat daily and it's the best thing ever! :-D
For some reason I have an easier time digesting grass fed. I get inflammation in my workouts for some reason when eating grain fed, however I do not know what goes on behind the scenes such as the preservatives, etc that would be other factors in making the difference
i've encountered a few of both actually, much more vegetarians though. Tbh I could rock that diet if i really wanted to. I like cheeses, eggs, and shellfish. Could do it since Salads are my favorite food.
It's not that hard. I can give up meat like chicken, pork, beef, etc. I'm not sure I'd really want to be vegan. If I really just wanted to be vegetarian I would do it
I'm Italian, it takes a HELL of a lot to give me heartburn my friend! ^^ I mixed Grace Hot Sauce and Frenches Mustard and mixed and dipped it. SO GOOD!
I prefer medium unless I know the restaurant is good, then I'll go with medium rare. In Japan I had some basically raw, but the company paid a lot, lol.
I don't know what it is. I tried it and honestly it just taste like... iron and mush at that point. and the texture of the raw fat? naaah. Not for me. I dont understand the hype. Then again my taste buds aren't the best to begin with. I need like 3 layers of garlic on my pizza to taste the damn garlic XD
Haha, I get that and garlic is great. I used to eat steak well done with ketchup, no jokes. But when I started going to better restaurants it feels better to eat it less cooked.
have you tried bison by chance? And yeah Turkey just has a "clean" taste and profile to it. Does that make sense? You get what I'm saying? lol. I LOVE rabbit too. In northern Italy they take the rabbit and slow cook it until the meat falls off the bones. Then they take it and put it in a sauce, add mushroom, onions, fresh rosemary, garlic, crushed tomatoes, and red wine and let it slow simmer. Then you put it over polenta and top it with fresh grated parmesan! SO GOOD! <3
We're they true meat would not be responsible for helping cure mental diseases. And I'm stronger on an 80% meat diet than when I was eating vegan or standard American. ☺️👍👌
Many people say they’re healthy at age 90 that they’re smoking but look at the quality of the life that they’re living. I’m almost 40 and look at my body! A quick 3 days hiking biking adventure will quickly show how deteriorated you are. Of course humans will say anything to refuse change or live blood test for sure has screwed up your white and red blood cells are from dehydration if that sound enough go to a colon test all those dead rotten meat in your ass
i tried a few diets, keto works for me. Veganism had my blood pressure raised and panic attacks increased. I make no apologies, I love beef, bison, rabbit, and turkey and have no desire to remove that from my diet. I did before and it sucked. Vegan food is bland af and none of it tastes remotely like Beef or Rabbit which satiate me. what's more organ meats are the most nutrient dense food you can consume. My cholesterol IS down on Keto, and I've lost 50 lbs of fat on it too, my bpm went from 122 to 72. So there ya go. And my erections are much stronger and more frequent. Also i get all the B12 i require. Fat isn't the enemy, never has been. Processed sugar and processed carbs are the issue. Also everyone builds muscle at different rates, anyone who has delved into human anatomy knows that it's heavily based on genetics not just diet and exercise.
Because you did it too quickly if you want on that whole plant-based diet you have a lot of junk in your body you started eating fruits foods too quickly your body started cleaning itself too fast and you got to do with drawls from it that’s why I recommend people to do a gradually give the body enough time for it to clean itself it’s not the vegetables if your body is fucked up
but that still wouldn't explain why i am so healthy on a diet that is 80% meat. And it's the first and ONLY time I've never had to use anti-depressants and anxiety medicine in my entire life. I go regular a few times a day, that's never stopped. To your original point if humans were never made to eat meat we simply never would have eaten it. To even get the veggies and fruits you would need to live off of you need to get crap from around the entire world... which is not something our ancestors would have been able to do at all. And for us to even be living on just plants we'd basically have to look all day and graze. That would leave us with no room to progress and evolve. Our ancestors had all kinds of tools for hunting and fishing. that didn't just start for no reason. We were designed to be omnivores. I go to the bathroom 3 times day to do a #2. I feel amazing and meat makes me feel satisfied. When I ate plant foods i did it for 9 weeks and the whole time beans never made me feel happy or content. Nor did nuts and seeds. The only thing that made me happy was a damn ribeye steak or a slow cooked piece of pork or some rabbit. Nothing else does it for me. when we were snowed in during the ice age where do you think our food sources were coming from? It was coming from animals. Do you know how to eat just meat and not get scurvy? You eat the liver, kidneys, and heart, all rich in vitamin C. Fats help you go to the bathroom the same way fibers would. Have you ever seen a herbivore eat meat? No. they would outright reject it. we dont and what's more we enjoy it. Why do so many vegans have meat substitutes if we werent designed to eat meat? Surely our cravings would vanish quickly. Try these experiment with other animals. see how they take to it. Try to get a wolf to eat broccoli over a steak.
Humans were never designed to eat meat you could do your own homework I’m not writing a cyclopedia because you’re too lazy. Our choices are so bad that bill gates is buying all the farms to sell us plastic fake meat. To kill us faster.
