Kris Gunnars breaks down the nutritional and ethical differences between grass-fed and grain-fed beef, revealing how a cow's diet impacts everything from fat content to antioxidant levels.

Quotes to ponder:
"You are what you eat applies to cows too."

"At the end of the day, the choice depends on your preferences and values."
