More Bad Press for Corn-fed Beef
Yahoo posted a lead story on their home page this past week attempting to explain corn-fed beef as a health risk while promoting grass-fed purchases. Read the story at the following link

Does the so-called expert Joel Salatin have a bias or some kind of agenda? The article does tell you he is a co-owner of Polyface Farms, what it does not tell you is that Polyface Farms are producers of grass-fed beef. No animal scientists or representatives were quoted. - Justin Champine, publisher

Of course Mr. Salatin has
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 12:40pm.Of course Mr. Salatin has both an agenda and a bias, which is fine, he believes grass fed beef is better for both the animal and the people who eat grass fed beef. What should have been mentioned is that Mr. Salatin has written books about grass fed beef, does speaking engagements and also raises and markets grass fed beef to his customers, so he also has a financial interest in seeing grass-fed beef highly touted as well. The Yahoo article is really to short to discuss in any depth the pro/cons of corn-fed vs. grass-fed but obviously the article trended to adopting more organic foodstuffs.
