Pasture Perfect
The Far-Reaching
Benefits of Choosing Meat, Eggs,
and Dairy Products
from Grass-Fed Animals
Dairy
products are a necessity for everyone. We need milk, cheese, cream, eggs
and other dairy products for our daily calcium needs. And we get these
dairy products through cows, chickens and goats. These animals are
generally grazed with grain to produce the best of dairy products.
However, Jo Robinson insists in her book, Pasture Perfect:
The Far-Reaching Benefits of
Choosing Meat, Eggs,
and Dairy Products from Grass-Fed
Animals, that the animals that are raised by grazing on grass
instead of grain tend to produce dairy products that have less fat and
the fat that does exist is "good fat." This "good fat" has fewer
calories and is healthier. And with grazing on grass, these animals tend
to grow to become healthier and experience less stress. And this in turn
is much better for the environment.
Pasture
Perfect is a soft cover book with 160 pages that proves with the
help of scientific research that the products that are derived from
grass fed animals are generally much safer, and provide much more
nourishment, than the conventional animals that are grazed on grains. As
these animals are usually less stressed, they live more natural lives to
produce meat that has a higher constitution of beta-carotene, Vitamin E
and omega-3 fatty acids.
The effects
of these changes on grazing also have its consequences on the production
of eggs. This is why Pasture Perfect points out all of the
benefits you can enjoy by choosing the right meat, eggs and dairy
products from the animals that are grazed on grass. Jo Robinson has
expressed her views only after conducting about five years of research
on the benefits of grass grazed animals.
By
incorporating the habit of letting animals graze on grass, chickens are
generally set free to graze on green grass on their own. They can
scratch around for insects, roost without any stress and in the process
get to enjoy sunbaths. Even animals like dairy cows, bison, lambs and
cattle are found to be more content to be allowed to graze on green
pasture where they get to breathe fresh air, and are permitted to stay
on the farm right from their birth till the day they are marketed.
Based on
her research, Jo Robinson has enough proof to prove that pastured
products are not only vitamin enriched, they are more nutritious and
free from antibiotics, mad cow disease and hormones. You can also find
the cancer fighting fat, CLA, in these pastured products. Jo Robinson
not only describes the benefits pastured products, but also helps you
store, locate and cook them. There are more than 60 pages of recipes in
the book Pasture Perfect which will help you bring out the flavor and
tenderness of these improved, pastured products to help you lead a
better life.
