Why grass-fed animals make a better burrito


I haven’t eaten at Chipotle, but after reading this article I’m going to have to give them a try. The writer talked to Steve Ells, founder and CEO of Chipotle, about his better-tasting burritos and the idea that fast food doesn’t have to be junk food.

He also mentions why they use grass fed beef and why is it better.

My parents used to raise a few head of cattle and lambs each year for meat. They were all grass fed and produced some of the best beef and lamb I've even eaten. So I’ve never been able to understand where the idea that cattle had to be fed corn to be any good came from. It’s always seemed like a waste of corn to me. And if you have to keep pumping your livestock full of antibiotics, as some cattle ranchers do (and chicken and hog farmers do as well), shouldn’t that be a hint that something is very wrong with the environment you have created to raise that livestock in?

Here’s to a grass fed, free-range, antibiotic-free beef.
