All cattle are grass-fed and spend about 80% of their life on pasture eating forage and grass which is their species-specific diet and helps maximize the nutritional profile of the meat. But then probably 98 to 99% of the cattle are then sent to a feedlot during the last few months of their lives where they're fed predominantly nothing but genetically modified corn and soy. So, the label, ‘grass-fed' isn't lying to you because the cattle are grass-fed but then they leave out the part where it has been grain-finished. A person will trust that label thinking they're buying a nutritionally superior product but most of the time they're not. – Eugene Trufkin

Power Quotes From The Show Where Is Our Meat Actually Coming From?  

"In a competitive market, a lot of these ranchers now have international as well as local competitors because 90% of the beef sold in the US comes from overseas. You may even find products in Trader Joe's that are sourced from 5 different countries. They may say, "Product of the USA," but here's the thing with that claim; I can buy carcasses from Mexico, import them into California, cut them up and process them into packaging here and then legally claim them as "Product of the USA" because it's been processed in the USA." - Eugene Trufkin

  The Truth About Organic Label Claims  
"What organic beef basically means, for the most part, is the product comes from a factory-farmed operation where they feed the cows nothing but organic grains but even that's questionable these days because a lot of it is coming from corrupted brokers from overseas like Ukraine and Turkey. The grain is literally the only difference between just a factory farm operation where they would feed them genetically modified corn and soy. So, even if you buy something with a USDA Organic label claim, although it may be fed with grains, you don't even know if those grains are organic." - Eugene Trufkin
 
 
 
Why Is It So Hard To Eat Healthy?
 
 
"My book, Anti-Factory Farm Shopping Guide, is for people who want to make better conscious food choices but the whole point of the book is to show readers just how difficult it has become. I run into people in the holistic health circles who are trying to optimize their health physically and mentally yet you still see them running into these mistakes constantly. People are buying a product, trusting the label or the claims, and just buying it for years and years on end thinking they're getting the maximum nutrition profile from that food group but they're simply not. My research on this started because I just wanted to buy some healthy eggs and it was incredibly impossible just to find something so simple and basic." - Eugene Trufkin

-Differences between caged, cage-free, free-range, and pasture-raised meats and eggs

-How to easily identify genetically-modified foods
