Grass fed or Grain Fed Liver?

#1

I am going to buy some liver tonight and fry it up in some grassfed butter. Going to eat like 1-2 oz per day as my daily multivitamin. I can use the retinol because I have a homozygous mutation which reduces conversion of beta-carotene to retinol. I can also use the B12 in the liver since I am homozygous with respect to the MTRR A66G mutation.

Does it matter if I get corn fed vs. grass fed? Walmart has corn fed (probably gmo fed who knows) liver for only $2.50 / lb.

I eat grass fed ground beef, wild caught salmon and take Nordic Naturals mercury free DHA + EPA fish oil in triglyceride form. I figure I’m good on the omega 3? (I still need to buy some hens and farm my own pasture raised eggs… still buying the cheap 99 cent per dozen corn fed / caged eggs).

Since it is such a small amount at like 1.5 oz per day does it matter that it is corn fed?

In my N=1 data point, I also get Walmart liver. In some sense I’d prefer to get it from US Wellness Meats or any of the direct-farm-to-you providers but convenience is also a factor.

Something I’ve noticed is that most of the groceries around me do not have a great selection of organ meats.

The Walmart where I got my liver (I mean, not my liver, but you know what I mean) has some more interesting cuts. Today I sous-vided some fatty beef cheek that was really good.

I found a quote I really like.

You are what you eat, and what you meal ate too

Grains are simply bad for you…so eating anything that ate those grain is also not good for you.

Grass fed! Another benefit is that animals make vit K2 from eating grass… we must have K2 in our diet. So, that gmo tells you that Monsanto created this plant…”roundup ready”. Good grief…do you really want to eat any of that? Even the FDA admits that the longer term effects to if NOT in their mission statement. Congress charged them with making the food supply safe…the narrow meaning is that if it doesn’t kill you outright is passes. Never mind what it does to you with long term exposure…sort of like sugar or high fructose.

Avoid it where ever you can. Beef, eggs, etc.
