That’s kind of a silly assumption frankly. Even on fish cans in the grocery store some advertise themselves as sustainably fished with certifications, and some don’t. Some egg cartons advertise themselves as “free range” and some don’t. Some meat advertises itself as “grass fed” and others don’t.
The products themselves are telling you there are a variety of production standards and it is almost willful blindness to say you believe there is nothing going on because there ought to be nothing going on.
You could make an analogous argument about gasoline “Look if this was harming the atmosphere why would governments allow it to be sold? I refuse to feel guilty”
- sokoloff 6y agoGrass-fed beef is advertised that way primarily for nutritional and taste claims and to support/explain the higher prices charged.
- graeme 6y agoThat’s one reason. It’s also widely known it is healthier for the cattle and has them out on pasture rather than in cages. The reason people argue the meat is more nutritious is because the cows are healthier via eating their natural diet. Corn diets cause health problems and bacterial infections requiring antibiotics. Some of this will literally be on the websites of farms selling pastured beef. It’s not a big secret and if you seek out pastured beef it’s likely familiar. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/05/010511074623.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/05/010511074623.h...
