» Jacqueline Church - Bad Beef

I think it is safest to choose grass fed and/or organic beef. I do think it makes sense for other reasons to choose your own beef and let the butcher grind it for you. One of the things I often suggest is that we get to know our butcher, fishmonger, etc. It is critical these days with the problems like BSE, as a recent article I read indicated that some cattle farmers are trying to jump on the 'grass fed' profit train by calling their beef 'grass fed' or grass finished, which is misleading when they have fed the cattle typical feed. With fewer and fewer inspections likely, those who consume beef have to be very careful.
