PALEO RESOURCE
Probably the most important component of your diet is where your meat comes from and how it is raised. Most commercial meats are raised on the cheapest feed available, kept in cramped unsanitary conditions, and fattened quickly to produce meat as cheaply as possible. Unfortunately the grains and soy fed to these cows, chickens, pigs, and sheep are anything but their natural diets and it affects the meat that they produce. The meat from grain-fed animals has a highly skewed omega-6:omega-3 ratio, sending the body into an inflammatory mode (some commercial meats/eggs have as high as a 15+:1 ratio of omega 6:3…when natural meats should have a more balanced ratio of 4:1 or less). Also the fat composition of these animals is altered (grain fed animals have more saturated fat, unlike grass fed with less saturated and moremonounsaturated). Essentially, you are what you eat…and what the animal eats too! Grass-fed meat (or any “wild game” not raised in fed lots on cheap grains) is more expensive, but it’s also tastier and better for your health. If you can’t find it (check your local farmer’s market) or can’t afford grass-fed meat, just trim the visible fat from your store-bought meat and help correct your omega-6:omega-3 balance with some additional fish oil. -Grass-Fed Meat vs. Grain-Fed Meat
