Best Answer

Yes, grass-fed beef is healthier to consume. This is because it is much more balanced in omega fats (more Omega-3's than Omega-6's) and is lower in HDL and saturated fatty acids, which are "bad fats." Grass-fed beef is also much higher in CLA's than grain-fed. It also tends to taste better than grain-fed (like, it's not like eating cardboard, but real beef) and does not contain traces of antibiotics and hormones because cattle finished on grass are healthier: they don't need hormones and antibiotics to "help" them reach finish quality.
