ABOUT THIS BLOG

The Modern Paleo Meats - Blog is dedicated to raising the awareness of the health benefits of eating 100% grass fed buffalo, lamb and beef products from animals that have been 100% pastured and never given any added hormones and antibiotics. I promote the idea of the re-emerging animal husbandry practices of animals living off the land and roaming free - this turns out to be better for the animals and for the environment. Eating this type of lean red meats is promoted by the Paleo, Low-Carb and Gluten-Free diets - so this blog will also explore Paleo Lifestyle topics, suggestions and recommendations for how to eat and exercise consistently with these regimes. Articles, comments and thoughts expressed by this blog are opinions and beliefs and should not be taken as any type of medical advice. Online store: www.ModernPaleoMeats.com

Cold Weather Cooking for GrassFed Meats
by Stanley Fishman

"Winter is coming, and our ancestors had their own ways of dealing with the cold weather and the nutritional needs of winter. One of their secrets was to eat plenty of grassfed meat, using recipes specially designed for cold weather. These nourishing dishes created anticipation with their tantalizing smells, warmed the body and soul when eaten, and provided superb nutrition that helped the body cope with the demands of winter.

We can recreate the wonderful smell and taste of these traditional dishes, and enjoy the same benefits as our ancestors did. Great grassfed meat is now available, and it is great for winter eating!
Here are some of the most traditional winter dishes enjoyed throughout Europe, especially in the winter."

Grass-Fed Beef 80% less chance of E-Coli

E-Coli and other dangers are just part of our traditional beef industry, but it doesn't have to be this way.  Many farms and ranches have begun to change the way they raise their cattle by moving to all grass-fed and away from the standard practice of collecting the animals in confined pens and fattening them up for the last few weeks of their lives - this is the main cause of disease and the reason why non-grassfed animals are often given doses of antibiotics and such.

Here is a quote from a new article that discusses the issue and the recent E-coli breakout in Canada:  “If you are raising grass fed beef there is an 80% less chance of having E. coli O157. If the plant is only geared to slaughtering grass fed beef then the chances of E. coli entering the plant is basically nil,” noted Steves.

Grass-fed meats good for eye health

Foods that Help Improve Eye Health
HEALTH
Thursday, August 9, 2012

By Charmaine Gooden

Every part of the human eye needs ocular nutrition support and nutrition to
maintain our vision and eye health as we age.

Dark leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale and swiss chard contain lutein and
xeaxanthin, pigments that protect the eyes from harmful blue light which can lead to
macular degeneration. They also contain beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, zinc and fibre,
which are all necessary for good eye health.

Lean Meats like turkey breast and grass-fed game (buffalo, some beef)
contain high levels of zinc and vitamin E, which are beneficial for eye health.
As they are a complete protein, they also provide a feeling of fullness, which
reduces caloric consumption.

Whole Grains including oatmeal, barley, and quinoa are high in fibre and
have a low glycemic index. Refined carbohydrates such as those found in
white bread and white rice have a high glycemic index. High glycemic index
food intake correlates to cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetes,
which are all sight-threatening conditions.

What is Paleo?

This was a question that I was asked recently on Facebook; here is my short answer:

Paleo is the short name for a whole body of research and literature investigating how to achieve one's optimal gene expression and thereby achieve optimal health and fitness. 
 
The idea is, that from an evolutionary perspective our bodies are "designed" to eat and metabolize well certain types of foods and not others and certain types of exercise vs. other types will "stress" your body in the correct ways vs incorrect ways. 


From the dietary perspective, in essence; it is recommended that you avoid all grains and corn, refined sugars, legumes (including peanuts) and vegetable seed oils.  That you eat about 1 lb a day of lean healthy red meat, fowl (and eggs) and/or seafood, about 1.5 lbs a day of vegetables, some fruits, berries and nuts and that you cook with and/or use as salad dressing olive oil, butter/lard, coconut oil or other nut oils. 

Avoid dairy products if you are lactose intolerant. Add key supplements that your body can't produce like Vitamin D if you don't get enough sunlight and Omega-3 oils if you are not eating enough cold water fish like salmon.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Paleo diet and exercise plans you can do a quick search on Amazon.com for "paleo diet" and you will see a number of books on the subject or you can go to the MPM Resources or Beyond the Meats pages at Modern Paleo Meats and you will see a number of Authors / Bloggers that I recommend as well as a number of books and products on the subject.

Grass fed vs. Grain Fed - Harvard gets it wrong!

In a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health with other prominent organizations, they concluded that consuming red meat can have negative long term health consequences. However, it appears that they did not distinguish between meat obtained from animals fed grains, corn or soy for all or a portion of their lives versus meat obtained from animals fed only grass for their entire life.

Corn Fed Beef #2 on Farmers do not eat list

Industry and medical experts in several fields were asked "what food should you not eat" some of the answers were interesting but right near the top was corn fed beef

Grass Fed vs. Grass Fed - Part 1

There is a lot of confusion among consumers of meat products about what all the labels mean; Certified Grass Fed, Organic, Natural and / or Pastured.  Unfortunately, the consumer is not helped much by industry participants who either are just sloppy about their labeling, inconsistent or sometimes deliberately misleading.  When you walk into the meat or deli section of the grocery store and see a cut of beef labeled "Grass Fed", is it actually grass fed, meaning that from life to death the animal was fed nothing but grass - no corn, grain or soy even in the last few days of its life?  And what about added growth hormones and antibiotics, which may not necessarily be unhealthy for you, but do you know how it affects the texture, taste and overall quality of the meat?

Your Are What Your Animals Eat

by Jo Robinson
In my investigation into pasture-based farming, I've stumbled upon an alarming state of affairs: few animal scientists see any link between animal feed and human food. "Feed animals anything you want," say the experts, "and it makes no difference to their meat, milk, or eggs." Because of this mindset, our animals are being fed just about anything that enhances the bottom line, including chicken feathers, sawdust, chicken manure, stale pizza dough, potato chips, and candy bars.

Here's a glaring example. A 1996 study explored the desirability of feeding stale chewing gum to cattle.1 Amazingly, the gum was still in its aluminum foil wrappers. Wonder of wonders, the experts concluded that bubblegum diet was a net benefit—at least for the producers. I quote: "Results of both experiments suggest that [gum and packaging material] may be fed to safely replace up to 30% of corn-alfalfa hay diets for growing steers with advantages in improving dry matter intake and digestibility." In other words, feed a steer a diet that is 30 percent bubblegum and aluminum foil wrappers, and it will be a more efficient eater. With a nod to public safety, the researchers did check to see how much aluminum was deposited in the various organs of the cattle. Not to worry. The aluminum content was "within normal expected ranges." As always, there was no mention of the nutritional content of the resulting meat.
