QuoteOn the one hand, it's heartening to see that the movement towards eating real meat has become enough of a threat to the hegemony of agribusiness and industrial meat production for the mainstream media to do a hit piece on it (source: Fox News.) On the other hand, it's dispiriting to see John Stossel pushing a flimsy tissue of falsehoods, thereby misleading people into making unhealthy and environmentally destructive food choices.

Most farms will harvest hay to feed their cattle during seasons with no fresh forage...but grass-finished beef will have its best flavor and nutrition when it's been fed on fresh, green grass for at least 90 days, and preferably 120 (this from a Nevada rancher).
Exactly when this happens is dependent on the growing season for grass in your area.
No, I haven't read "Steak"...I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip!

Something about this forum software is screwing up links: it tries to put an ellipsis in the middle to truncate it, but that causes the link itself to truncate. If you want links to work, you have to format them as HTML.

It looks like I need leading by the hand as despite having some knowledge of html I couldn't get my attempt to work. It still truncated the address while leaving all around it okay.
The address in my second post was deliberately split by me. If they are joined together they will get you to the article.
[Edit: I fixed the link in your original -JS]
