Even though beef has been getting a bad reputation lately for bacterial contaminations, antibiotics, hormones, etc, many people still love eating it and can't give it up. Does that sound like you? If so, have you tried grass-fed beef? It really comes down to personal preference, like any kind of food, but here are 5 reasons why you should give grass-fed beef a try if you haven't already:

• Grass-fed beef is lower in bad fats, higher in good fats, and higher in several vitamins and antioxidants than other beef.
• Grass-fed cattle don't need as many antibiotics as cattle packed densely into a feed-lot do.
• Most grass-fed beef production practices do not include injections of growth hormones.
• Some studies have shown that grass-fed beef is less likely to harbor acid-resistant E.coli bacteria, due to differing stomach environments.
• Grass-fed cattle herds have never been affected by Mad Cow disease.
