Most “free range” is not free range. All this means is that chickens are keep in cages and given a 1 by 1 foot area to “run.” Or they are keep in a warehouse without cages but there are so many birds that they are pilled up on top of each other.
I sympathize with the vegans. I went vegan several years ago. I have fallen off the wagon several times within the last couple of years though. I don’t feel as bad eating wild salmon because I know that they have not been tortured like land animals have. But I still feel really bad. One thing that my family and I did was get chickens for eggs. We know where the eggs are coming from and what the chickens are feed. They are spoiled rotten and have a yard to run and play in =) They lay eggs whether they are fertilized or not, so I don’t find eating them cruel. I understand that not everyone has the ability to get chickens, but if you do, that is one option for protein.

Here in California, beef labeled “Naturally Raised” means no Steroids or Growth Hormone. I have found beef labeled “Organically Raised” at Whole Foods Market, that being beef that has been fed a diet exclusively of grasses and/or grain and/or corn that is certified Organic.

Now, the real good stuff is “Naturally AND Organically Raised.” Wow. It tastes . . . different. And it LOOKS different in the display window, and when cooked. Hard to describe . . . it seems, cleaner. Much more expensive.

What I usually do, therefore (since I’m not rich yet) is buy the “Naturally Raised” beef at whatever fat content, cook it on a relatively low temperature (to keep down the AGEs) and then drain the fat manually.

Good Eating!

In response to Pam’s remarks, buffalo is being raised in Michigan and is becoming more and more available. Whole Foods probably offers ostrich, but sometimes you have to drive quite a bit to find the nearest Whole Foods. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, they sell Buffalo patties raised without antibiodics/horomones.

After reading your article, I was compelled to ask the question, “What is your opinion of alternate sources of protein?” Personally, I eat fish (salmon) and some others. There are alternate sources of protein other than animal flesh. What is your analysis of the effects of non-animal protein on longevity and anti-inflammatory processes? Thank you for your response.

I found a local source of 100% grass-fed free range beef!

During the ’80s my friend and I ate wild deer and beef raised on pasture, and we lost a lot of weight, and lived like kings.

But we did a LOT of exercise too! I must admit, if I don’t get enough protein, my work out regimen is basically unattainable, but I have resources to neither of these meats, so I’m attempting to supplement as much plant and fish protein as I can, and still be successful.

Dr. Perricone covers many subjects
essential to our understanding healthy
diets and healthy bodies, especially
healthy skin.
In spite of the fact that I have kept abreast
of ‘the”"best food choices, best products for
skin health, for many years, I still learn
from his books and articles and especially
enjoy his website.
His teachings are really appreciated.
