Thank you for explaining the difference between grass fed and grass finished. Truly enjoyed this presentation and learned so much!

Wow! Did not know about the WW2 Nitrogen surplus or that the changes in human diet since 1920 have increased disease. Thank you for so much valuable information! I enjoyed the presentation very much.

Thank you for another great informative presentation! I have learned so much over the past few days. I look forward to hear the rest of the presentations. The information is simple and yet so many people do not get it, Eat Fresh whole foods! I am sharing the information with everyone that will listen.

John, I live in East Texas and am trying to find a source for organic/GMO-free chicken food. Any ideas? I have been asking local feed stores with no luck.

  We just moved to Houston County and don’t have chickens yet, but I have this listing in my files for future reference. You will have to page down to TEXAS, and contact the ones closest to you. Good luck! http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/organic-chicken-feeds

  The Non GMO Verified project just approved a chicken feed. you’ll be able to find it on they’re website I’m sure.

Sean,

I have been listening about the importance of getting grass-finished meats and pasteured chicken from a local farm. Where I am at the nearest farm is two hours away. I am totally willing to go get the meat, but I was wondering about storage. Is it ok to freeze the meat? Does freezing cause the nutrients to decrease? How long can meat be frozen?

It would be just as easy for me to order meat but I am worried about how the meat will be sent. Is ordering meat from a farm subject to more preservatives or do they freeze it as well?

Thanks!

  Usually when you buy meat from farmers markets and farms it is frozen. Freezing helps preserve the nutrients. You can freeze for at least 6 months and even up to a year or possibly longer.
  
  Now go get in your car and buy that meat!

I’m at 26 minutes in and just listened to how conventional chickens are slaughtered… they hold 12% additional water weight from the method.

Very nice way to increase profit! And the government allows this. Why? They have more concern about the economy than the health of humans and other animals.

Ironically, the economy of the world would be flourishing if societies health was where it should be.

  Learning this is not shocking but is disgusting.

caN we obtain these meats in Canada? Love the presentations. Thank you.

Some butchers talk about “length of time the meat hangs to dry” so it is more tender. Is that important to consider in buying grassfed beef? Do you want the beef to hang to dry before butchering?

Question for John for the Q&A:

I am still confused about the free range and pastured
chicken. I have always thought that free range chicken is kept in a building
but the door is opened. So they are free to venture out if they want to but
they end up spending quite a lot of time inside. According to John’s definition
I do not really see that big difference. In both case the chicken is out during
the whole day. There is just more land
rotation with the pastured chicken.

Also I thought that pastured chicken was best yet John has
only the free range ones. I need some clarification.

Thank you.

  I had the same thought, that the pastured chicken was healthier as it would be eating grass, worms, and bugs as its entire diet. I thought the free range chicken was not cooped up but still fed grain. I am interested too in the clarification. Dr. Mercola’s website showed some interesting facts about free-range chickens in one of his newsletters, ie free range meant the chicken was out for one hour a day, but still kept in cramped quarters the other part of the day and was fed grain. It’s been awhile since I read it, so take a look, much deception on labeling and what the real practices are.

    Your best bets are to find a local farmer, and go visit and see how they do it, on individual bases.

Very motivating presentation. I plan to use fewer supplements so I can afford more grass-fed/pastured meat! I am upset that my grandkids are not eating whole foods. I cringe thinking about their SAD breakfasts in particular. I must try to share this info in a way children will understand. Wish I lived near them. I feel torn. Our poor children are being poisoned. I am so grateful for this summit

Great talk, the only humane way to farm is free ranging and farm slaughtered.

John,
There is always another side to a story and the history lesson about WW2 and nitrogen was another side for me.
Please clarify about chickens – I thought the pastured chicken was healthier as it would be eating grass, worms, and insects as its entire diet and not kept in cramped quarters. I thought the free range chicken was not cooped up but still fed grain. I also heard the USDA doesn’t require free-range chickens to be outside several hours a day. Have you heard of cornucopia.org?
