Thanks for the link to the Groves piece, Chris. I’ve thought that decreasing intake of “bad” stuff far outweighs increasing intake of “good” stuff.

Ever read Groves’ book, “Eat Fat, Get Thin?”

Barry Goroves has an interesting piece. He points to a study which concludes:

A high intake of n-3 fatty acids does not appear to protect against COPD or asthma, but a high intake of several n-6 fatty acids is associated with a significant reduction in FEV1, particularly in smokers. These findings indicate that high dietary intake of n-6 fatty acids, rather than reduced n-3 intake, may have an adverse effect on lung health.

Grass fed beef is definitely better than grain fed. There are numerous reasons to leave grain fed alone. I am interested what prices you would find fair when it comes to grass fed beef prices. I am soon opening a grass fed meat restaurant and also plan on shipping it out to people. I will also look into jerky. This will be interesting to those that like beef but are not willing to pay the heavy shipping cost grass fed is associated with in most cases.

We should gather a group of athletes and make a grass fed beef deal for the year on jerky. Would athletes be interested in grass fed beef jerky? That would be another question.

Grass Fed Beef doesn’t = expensive meat!

Indeed! VG point. Although if you do increase lean mass significantly without a concomitant increase in fat mass dropping your total BF% down significantly, you’ll still appear a lot leaner. Trouble is, this is nearly impossible to do!

Great post.
