Quote:
Switching ruminants from their natural diet of grasses to grains also lowers the nutritional value of their meat and dairy products. Compared with grass-fed meat, grain-fed meat contains more total fat, saturated fat, and calories. It also has less vitamin E, beta-carotene, and two health-promoting fats called omega-3 fatty acids and “conjugated linoleic acid,” or CLA. The milk from dairy cows raised in confinement is similarly low in these nutrients. One result of our modern “advances” in animal technology is inferior food.

I eat grassfed, organically raised beef (free of hormones, antibiotics, etc) and while I agree it tastes differently from corn-fed, I agree with lillylou, it tastes sweeter to me. (probably because I know I'm getting a healthier protein without all that nasty added stuff).
