Comment on High price of corn forcing farmers to feed candy to livestock

Comments

the comments here are unsurprising, I guess it's just an outrageous notion to suggest that eating meat may expose us to at least some aspects of what the animal was fed all its life (which may just as well mean an insufficient level of necessary nutrients, as much as it may mean exposure to negative substances).

Here's a PDF from the Union of Concerned Scientists, just regarding the potential dietary advantages of grass fed beef: http://www.ucsusa.org/assets/documents/food_and_environment/... The concept of "we're affected by what the cow eats" isn't novel. Eating meat that was raised on candy or fruit loops is revolting.
