General Discussion / How much beef do you consume a week/month?

« on: March 10, 2012, 01:03:27 am »

I'm doing some research since the majority of my clients are part of the paleo lifestyle. I am trying to find out how much beef a family or a individual consumes in a week/month. I want to put paleo packages together that cater to a individual or a family on a weekly, bi weekly or monthly basis. I am trying to get an idea of how much ground beef and steaks everyone consumes on average. I appreciate your ideas and insight. Thanks Everyone!

P.S I am proud to say that my associate and I will be partaking in the paleo plan challenge next month and I am excited to keep you posted on our progress.

The best way to avoid GMOs is to choose organic. By law, organic products must be made and produced without the use of genetic engineering. That is why at every phase in the production process, organic processors and producers are required to take steps to make sure that you and your family are getting all the benefits you need and want and none of the things you don’t—including GMOs. That means not planting or treating land on which organic food and fiber is grown with prohibited substances (including GMOs); creating buffer zones to prevent contact between organic and non-organic crops; cleaning machinery to prevent contact between organic and non-organic items and minimize the risk of contamination; and storing organic and non-organic ingredients separately to ensure that the organic products have as little risk as possible of containing GMOs.

That is true that USDA organic can be finished on on usda grain, but that is not true for 100% grass fed usda organic.
The main difference between 100% grass fed usda organic and grass fed is that grass fed beef can be injected with growth hormones and antibiotics. 100% usda grass fed organic is not allowed to be labeled organic if it is injected with growth hormones or antibiotics. Our cattle would have to be pulled out of our organic program if they get sick and need antibiotics. Also usda organic cattle can be fed in feed lots with usda approved grains. Our usda organic cattle are third party verified by (GAP) that is the global animal protection agency. This means that a third party comes out to monitor if the cattle are free to roam and graze their entire life. Also they monitor if the cattle are humanely treated. For example our cattle are not allowed to live in a high stress environment on a concrete slab, they are not allowed to ever be shocked with a electric cattle prod, they are not allowed to be crushed with a hydraulic squeeze chute, they are not allowed to be put on over crowed cattle trucks or even transported over 50 miles. So there is a lot that goes into these certifications and everyone in the paleo community should be aware of these certifications before you purchase your grass fed beef.

I was just wondering if Paleo dieters knew the difference between 100% grass fed beef and 100% grass fed USDA organic beef?

I am the owner of a 100% Grass Fed organic beef online store called TX BAR ORGANICS. The beef is raised by local northern California ranchers and my company ships this local beef to your doorstep.

I joined this forum to learn more about Paleo dieters and their preferences when it comes to what they put in their bodies. Also learn new recipes, trends and products that my customers prefer when it comes to eating 100% grass fed beef. Look forward to everyone's posts and ideas.
