Grassfed Must Mean Absolutely No Grain
Wednesday, 23 July 2008
Many grassfed meat and milk marketers are finding consumers with corn gluten allergies to be among their most loyal and enthusiastic customers. Currently, it is estimated that there are around 10 million Americans with this allergy and these people represent a multi-billion dollar market for grassfed products. However, these people must have absolutely grassfed products. Texas grassfed meat marketer, Jon Taggart, recently found out just how sensitive these people are to corn when one of his most loyal, long-term customers came to him and said that some lamb she had purchased from him had made her sick. She said she knew this was because the lamb had been fed grain. Jon called the rancher who supplied the lamb, who swore they never fed grain on their ranch. However, later that day he called back and said they were indeed at fault. He found that a commercial molasses energy block they were feeding had minute particles of corn in it. Be careful!
