“I was very impressed with the myth-busting left over from the late 90s and early 2000s where, in this part of the country, Limousin had a reputation of being a little too framey, not very good milkers and not very good temperament in some cases. And it just couldn’t be any different today. They’re thick, they have great carcass quality and the females are heavy milkers. And they’re easy to handle. It’s just a totally different animal. So, it’s been quite a surprise over the years.” - Will Hargett, Sale Barn Owner

Let's set the story straight with hormones in beef.

1. Hormones are naturally occurring in ALL living things, even plants.

2. There's 51,483,600ng of estrogen in 8oz of tofu (soy) and 3ng of naturally-occurring estrogen in 8oz of beef. 🤯

3. One birth control pill contains 35,000 ngs of estrogen

4. An adult female would have to eat 95.3 steers’ worth of beef per day (483 pounds each) to match her own daily production of estrogen.

5. Let's stop with the "meat and milk are full of hormones" propaganda and accept that they are SAFE AND NUTRITIOUS.

U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack addressed the American Farm Bureau Federation this morning in Puerto Rico: "The farm bill isn’t just about farms. It isn't just about nutrition. It isn't just about conservation. It’s about being a food secure nation that empowers the rest of the nation to do what we do. The future of the rest of the country is directly connected to your future."

Whether you eat animals or not, animal agriculture is important for restoring environmental and soil health.

The soil on the left is the result of regenerative agricultural practices being implemented and holds significantly more organic and Carbon matter. Sheep and cattle were carefully managed and rotated on the land. They ate the grass, deposited their urine and dung and were then moved away to let the grass grow back quickly.

The cycle is then repeated at a later date depending on season variability and vegetation recovery. This allows the pulling of carbon into the soil. It is darker because carbon from the atmosphere is now in the soil making it more nutrient rich and dense.

The soil on the right is from a commercial farm that grows grain and uses no animals on the land.

The soil with more carbon holds a lot more water (roughly 150,000 liters of water per hectare for every 1% of carbon that’s added) and is full of microbes.

Animals play a crucial role in regenerating the land and getting carbon into the soil when properly managed.

These ‘regenerative’ practices also can be applied to crop management through the careful integration of livestock.

Once again, a reporter with ZERO education in nutrition or food production, telling the world we need to eat less meat and more fake foods... And the public (and Silicon Valley) are buying it -hook, line and sinker!

Replacing 20%+ of bioavailable, easily digested animal protein with poor quality algal/fungal proteins is not healthy or sustainable for humans.

The article cites deforestation and emissions from cattle as a the primary reasons to avoid meat. I’ve addressed both of these misconceptions in great detail on my feed/website and in my book, Sacred Cow.

Not ONCE does the article mention the benefits of buying well-sourced meat to help increase biodiversity, enhance ecosystem function, improve water cycles, and sequester carbon, but it does sing the praises of industrially produced, ultra-processed meat alternatives. The author even goes so far as to claim that “any reduction of red meat in our diets is a net positive, regardless of what vegetarian option you replace it with”.

That's simply false.

The certitude of this statement (and many others within the article) is precisely why this spoon-fed perspective sits so well with so many consumers. By discouraging critical thought and encouraging tribal anti-meat thinking, this article plays to one of the most fundamental features of human psychology: the desire to categorize things into distinct groupings such as “good” or “bad” for the sake of simplicity and survival, absolving the individual of more profound, laborious thought.

But reality is often much more complex and nuanced than good or bad would have you believe. Meat has always been a critical part of human food systems. There are no zero death food solutions. Widespread modern discomfort with death is likely an artifact of our disconnection from nature and meaning. So consume the highest quality food available to you, but don’t go vilifying meat when you haven’t done the work to understand the indispensable role that well-managed livestock can play in both ecosystem and human health.
