 What I've learned over the past year or so of running different businesses is that every single person is Just about trying to rip you off Farmers and ranchers the people that produce and distribute our food are no exception here And I was well aware of this before I had a vendetta against everyone The marketing terms used in America especially over the past dozens of years such as heart healthy Natural grade a are really just appeals to authority these people are using to sell you Conventional feedlot garbage America in particular is worse than everywhere else It has built this system of stuffing animals full of cheap high-energy crops Sprayed with so many agrochemicals herbicides pesticides fungicides insecticides What they're feeding these animals gets them very sick and then they have to inject those animals with more chemicals to keep them alive And these American farmers are in no way ready to give up their high-profit margin system It's all about the money. There's a lot to understand Due to this various marketing deception, you know grass-fed might not actually mean grass It can include corn silage corn stalks. What does organic mean a cow could be fed organic corn and soy and still be certified organic Does natural really mean anything? Isn't any food technically natural? We're going over the big three today beef pork and chicken and I've done videos on eggs and dairy in the past If you guys want to check those out generally speaking beef is a much safer bet than pork or chicken and Chicken usually edges out pork from a quality standpoint when you buy grass-fed beef It usually is fed mostly grass as well as hay and silage, which is just bundled up grass So we aren't really concerned about whether the beef is grass-fed or not We want to look at the coloring of the meat and see what type of quality it is Pork and chicken are almost always fed grain, you know the most popular marketing terms for healthy chicken now is Organic and free range, which just means that the animals get organic versions of corn and soy and the giant barns These animals are suffocating in have this small plot of grass next to it. That's the legal definition of free range It's basically the same conventional stuff. They're selling at the supermarket They just slap a label on it and increase the price for pork. It's even worse American farmers have relabeled their cheap garbage as heritage breed Usually referring to it as Berkshire But that's just the breed of the animal, you know There's some farmers in America that even took the Spanish Iberian pigs the famous Iberical pork and are feeding them corn and soy Garbage but selling meat under the Iberical pork label and I've asked these farmers what they feed their pigs and chickens Some of them will lie through their teeth just to make a few dollars and that goes for beef as well I've been lied to by farmers just so they don't have liability the reason there's plenty of grass-fed beef But not a lot of really high-quality Properly raised pork and chicken is because raising the cattle on grass is actually affordable So, you know, most American companies have the grass-fed beef But then they're selling chicken and pork that is still being fed cheap feed again It all comes down to profit and money And if these people aren't willing to spend a little more to have a truly high-quality product Do you want to buy beef from them? you know, do you want to buy grass-fed beef from a company that is saying oh we have heritage breed pork and organic chicken instead of using legitimate marketing terms like organic soy-free corn-free pasture-raised eating bugs and insects, you know being more descriptive about the chickens and actually Disclosing what they're feeding the pigs not just using the breed name So let's take a look at the beef pork and chicken that I have today And I'll give you guys my thoughts on what you should be looking for on the left We have different beef products from Frankie's range meat and on the right I purchased some of the grain-fed conventional beef from Whole Foods and If you buy like grass-fed beef from a local supermarket, it'll usually look pretty similar to what we have on Frankie's range meat It's not going to be as fresh as nicely packaged or cut, but the colors should be pretty similar So loosely in the grass-fed beef you want to see a purplish colored flesh and a beige colored fat That's a pretty good indicator even on this very fatty ground beef We have on Frankie's range meat, you know the fat is mostly beige and the meat that is there is purple The Wagyu that we have is actually a little bit leaner than 70-30 You could tell the fat is yellowish and the meat is still purple The degree of beige to yellow in the grass-fed beef depends on both the breed of cow as well as how much pasture it is on And you have the grain-fed stuff the meat is Pinkish reddish and the fat is white. Are you going to see you know a difference in contrast with lesser quality Grass-fed beef it's tough to say if a farmer is raising his animals properly there will be some marbling in the meat, so This is a grass-fed steak You know where the cow wasn't on as ideal pasture as this cow You know so this is plenty of marbling and a lot of marbling especially considering it's grass-fed It's just you know most farmers don't know how to raise their animals right now So this is you know a steak that'll fetch top dollar. You know if you can buy stuff like this Why would you buy this grain-fed crap? So not really too much to focus on beef here? It's just When you are buying grass-fed beef make sure it's packaged nicely The color indicates you're getting what you pay for and that you know you're not overpaying for you know leaner beef You know, why would you pay? You know prime steak prices for something like this? Grass-fed beef though is almost always more expensive than grain-fed beef regardless of the cut regardless of Where it's coming from buy a few dollars. I mean if you look in this Ground beef. It's like oxidized. It's disgusting You know, you don't want this stuff. It's it's just not good taste-wise. You can almost actually taste the corn and When you eat a grain-fed steak it almost like falls apart in your mouth. It's kind of gross almost I guess you can consider it's more tender But you know if the muscle of the animal is literally falling apart it says something about you know The quality of what's being raised the pork is definitely the most stunning visual difference And that's because what we're feeding pigs right now is the furthest away from nature in relation to the chicken or beef This is 100% acorn-fed pasture raised. I have barico de balota from Spain the highest quality pork You can buy it's darker color than the beef It's deep purple and this is pork loin that I got from Whole Foods. That's just getting conventional crap and The color in the meat is an indicator of its nutrition status So yeah, you have more water soluble vitamins more minerals more fat soluble vitamins But how important is that compared to the negatives the most important thing is that you're avoiding High omega-6 and you're avoiding the agrochemicals You know you can eat all the conventional meat you want and you'll eventually get the same nutrition as you would from this Except you're gonna be consuming so many chemicals so much omega-6 You know you couldn't get to that nutritional status in a healthy way, you know There's so many downsides and so many negatives, you know with pork and chicken you have the omega-6 concern With the grain-fed beef there's less of an omega-6 concern But the bigger problem with the grain-fed beef is the chemicals the herbicides the pesticides all that stuff those metabolites from the antibiotics Whatever remains in the animal that translates to your body. So this is a product I'm really proud of we have and When we get the farm hopefully in the next few months, we'll be raising pork like this ourselves taste wise You're gonna have a deep nutty Really complex almost buttery flavor in this iberico pork and this stuff is gonna taste bland in comparison We didn't really go over the taste differences of the grass versus the grain-fed beef We touched more on the texture, but obviously, you know the grass would be sometimes it tastes like it's really grassy From a barnyard like hay other times It's just like a slight butter scotchy note and the beef that we saw in Frankie's your age Me we're actually proud that we're able to source a product that only has that like deep nutty butter scotch flavor Very tasty very palatable from oh look even sweet nutty and delicious I didn't see that so first light knows what they're doing from a marketing perspective Have you ever seen someone put nutty on on beef with the chicken? It can be a bit harder to tell what quality is because even the best quality chicken Generally speaking isn't that great so in the back here is two chickens from Whole Foods The left one is the regular conventional the right one is organic and there's a slight difference You know this one's a little bit bigger the flesh is like a light pink color and There's not that much yellow or carotenoids in the fat if you take this organic chicken You can tell you know the birds a bit smaller, so it's not injected with as much crap The meat is a slight bit darker. It's a deeper colored pink and the fat is darker. There's more yellow and You know it looks more natural from that perspective, but you know It's only a slight improvement visually from the conventional stuff This is a chicken we have on Frankie's range meat. This is a 100% pasture raised bird soy free You could tell it's the deep orange carotene. It is getting Nutrients from the grasses and most importantly the flesh even the breast is a much darker colored It's actually getting closer to a reddish. It's a very deep rosy pink So this is you know a quality product that you know, I've been having from time to time at home I really kind of craving for chicken once in a while But the main thing that I like on Frankie's range meat that I've been able to get you guys Is the highest quality feed poultry we have corn free soy free pasture raised from Spain our quails And you know, this is kind of crazy the meat is it's almost like beef. It's really dark purple flesh This is the boneless quail. I should have probably got the bone and stuff and see look they even left the feather for us Very natural. This is great to pence here higher in B vitamins higher in minerals more nutritious but again Do we need nutrition or are we just trying to avoid high Omega 6? Now that's that's a good question to ask Are we just trying to avoid the antibiotics the chemicals and the negatives as opposed to overloading the positives plus? This stuff generally tastes better now the higher the quality of the meat is the better it will taste Thank you guys so much for joining me today on Frankie's free range meat We are really happy and excited that we've been able to provide you guys with high quality Nutritious animal foods at the most affordable price online And if we've been able to do this in just over a year something else these other companies have never wanted or been able to do You're gonna be really excited for the next few months next year We're gonna have some truly unique products that aren't on the market and you guys can tell we're genuine because Frankie boy can't even afford a haircut.
