General Discussion / Re: US Wellness Meats?
« on: March 08, 2012, 04:42:41 am »
I ordered from US Wellness meats and got good service. However, I read on a blog that they'd gotten so big they were importing a lot of their meat from Tasmania. I went to the website, and they did have an article saying they were getting the Tasmanian meat. They are also getting beef from other farms all over the U.S. (not just the four "founding" farms mentioned on the home page) to fulfill all their orders.

My concern is that their operation has become so popular (and big) that they cannot possibly know if all the farmers they buy from in the U.S. and Tasmania are raising true grass-fed and finished organic beef. I have to pay more, but I'm now buying from a smaller one-ranch Kansas place, Green Cattle Beef, that only sells its own product. They don't have as big a selection of stuff as US Wellness, where I still buy some products, but at least I know where their meat is coming from and that it is grass fed and finished.

Hot Topics / Re: Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil Question
« on: March 08, 2012, 01:47:59 am »
I tried the butter oil/fermented cod oil first but did not like the pasty consistency. It only comes with a gel and I did not notice when I ordered and it also has silica added to give it the gel form and I suppose to blend the oils better. When I contacted Dave at Green Pastures about the source of the silica, he replied in full: "it's inert, like sand."

I think it's better to order the butter oil (if you're going to take it; it's supposed to increase the effect of the cod oil) separately from the fermented cod liver oil and make your own mixture. That way, you're not getting the silica additive. I get mine from Renewed Health Supply. You get a small discount and no-cost shipping even if you order only one bottle. I'm not connected to them other than as a satisfied customer. At the price of this stuff, I like to save a little where I can.
