o/t can they call it grass fed if it's grain finished? mother fuckers if whole foods is messing with me.....
Ha! Whole Paycheck is fucking with us all! There is no standard definition of "Grass-fed Beef." All it means is that the cow was fed grass at one point in its life. It could have been moldy old grass that was mixed in with its feed.
Grass-Finished beef means the cow was fed grass up until maturity was complete and the cow finished growing.
From what I understand, the cow has to be slaughtered within a certain window otherwise the healthy fat levels and all of the other goodness can decline rapidly within days. I would think that if a product was "Finished" it would be promoted as such.
