A recent study reported that the average American gets approximately 60% of their calories from ultra-processed foods and nearly 90% of those calories are from refined sugars — leaving us both overfed and undernourished.
One of the most nutrient-rich, healthy protein sources available is 100% grass fed beef. A joint study between the USDA and researchers at Clemson University concluded that grass fed beef is better for human health in many ways:
Compared with grain-fed beef, grass fed beef is:
- Higher in vitamins A, D, E, K and B-vitamins thiamin & riboflavin
- Higher in the minerals calcium, magnesium & potassium
- Higher in total omega-3s
- A healthier ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids
- Higher in CLA which can boost fat burning
- Lower in saturated fats
But there are two big problems with most meat sticks on the market:
Most meat sticks are made with extremely poor quality beef — often from industrial factory farms. Since the term "grass fed" is largely unregulated, even many "grass fed" beef sticks are actually grain fed.
Most meat sticks use a preservative called Encapsulated Citric Acid (ECA) which contains GMO citric acid coated with toxic hydrogenated oils such as cottonseed or soy oils.
Our meat sticks are clean, healthy, 100% grass fed, non-GMO, pesticide-free, ECA free, gluten free, grain free, refined sugar free and are naturally fermented so they contain zero preservatives.
We've now sold over 65 million meat sticks.
