Have you always believed that cows simply roamed open pastures, eating all the grass in the world, and simply love life? &lt;br&gt;Sorry to be the bearer of BAD news and all but... that's completely &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;false.&lt;/span&gt; Cows may roam on lush grass for about 6 month to 2 years of their lives and then &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;BAM&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; .. off to the feed lot they go where they are &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FORCED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to chow down on grains not suitable for their stomachs. In fact, in order for farmers/feed lot workers to make sure cows do not get sick and die from eating grain, they have to make the switch from grass to grain over a gradual period of time. If a cow was to go from grass to grain over night, it would die... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Oh and grain-fed beef are injected with antibiotics, etc because these unnatural substances are what help cows acclimate themselves to this grain they are now being fed - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HOW&lt;/span&gt; unnatural is that!) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And why are cows fed &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;grains&lt;/span&gt;? To get nice and &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;PLUMP&lt;/span&gt;! Because &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;PLUMP&lt;/span&gt; meat sells to those who don't care an ounce about their health! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Oh and by the way, cows eat &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;grains&lt;/span&gt; to get fat... so people out there, if you want to gain weight: eat all the grains to your hearts content!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So why am I talking about this... What is the "who cares" to my rant... I want to emphasize how important reading labels and making sure when you buy your beef (or any red meat for that matter) at the store, on-line, etc... that is be &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;GRASS-FED&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;GRASS-FINISHED&lt;/span&gt;!!! The health benefits are tremendous! In fact there are so many that some say &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;grass-fed/finished&lt;/span&gt; red meats are a near perfect health food! Who would have thought eating &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;RED MEAT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; could = health! &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://x86.xanga.com/bf0f4b32c2732256285924/b203860582.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="grassfed_cow_5" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://x86.xanga.com/bf0f4b32c2732256285924/z203860582.jpg" height="122"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;TAKE THAT NEAL BERNARD!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(32, 128, 223);"&gt;For More Information, check out: EATWILD.COM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><comments>http://g1g1626.healthkicker.com/714049976/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Would You Eat This?</title><link>http://g1g1626.healthkicker.com/712369948/would-you-eat-this/</link><guid>http://g1g1626.healthkicker.com/712369948/would-you-eat-this/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:29:51 GMT</pubDate><description> &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://x89.xanga.com/394f240534730254918032/b202672338.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="seaweed" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://x89.xanga.com/394f240534730254918032/z202672338.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;The Loch Ness Monster??&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://x6e.xanga.com/074f3a1157131254918030/b202672336.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="product5" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://x6e.xanga.com/074f3a1157131254918030/z202672336.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Look Familiar Now?!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://xce.xanga.com/195f201757130254918031/b202672337.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="seaweed-salad-trio" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xce.xanga.com/195f201757130254918031/z202672337.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh I Just Love This Salty, Kelpy, Sesame Infused Salad!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://g1g1626.healthkicker.com/712369948/would-you-eat-this/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Would You Eat This?</title><link>http://g1g1626.healthkicker.com/712369800/would-you-eat-this/</link><guid>http://g1g1626.healthkicker.com/712369800/would-you-eat-this/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:24:12 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://xbf.xanga.com/ff5f210556530254917820/b202672140.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="WinterSquash" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xbf.xanga.com/ff5f210556530254917820/z202672140.jpg" width="359"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Love My Humps!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://xa9.xanga.com/0f9f740412d35254917819/b202672139.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="m_CookedWinterSquash12oz" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px; width: 167px; height: 133px;" src="http://xa9.xanga.com/0f9f740412d35254917819/z202672139.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;If You Didn't Guess Already...
