I saw this “grass fed” ribeye at Walmart. There’s no way that’s grass fed right? Unless it’s a speckled park or wagyu? What do the people say?

The people say that grass fed does not mean pasture raised. So the illusion of cows openly roaming and grazing on grass(this being leaner) has become the new marketing hotness similar to “cage free” eggs. The truth is that cows can still be confined to areas that they can barely move and be fed grass clippings instead of grains. They honestly probably get just as fat and are just as unhealthy as grain fed.

All cattle eat grass at some point in their life cycle. This beef was not grass finished. Maybe grazed grass for a year, then finished with some months on grain or corn in a feed lot.

Grassfed does not mean grass finished.
