i havent read the "primal books" in a few years but i think i remember Aajonus making no distinctions between conventional supermarket meat and organic grass-fed meat. i did , and still do disagree and find it kinda weird that he would hold factory farmed meat to the same quality standard as grass-fed free-range meat.
does anyone know if hes changed his opinion on this?
He has made this claim elsewhere, but not in his books. Aajonus is of the view, that superior nutrion of meats is less important than the issue of cooking - so, given the choice between the two, he would be against lightly-cooked grassfed meat but in favour of raw, grainfed meat. Also, he may just be being practical as some Primal Dieters might not have access to grassfed meats or feel they couldn't afford it. Anyway, my experience is that Aajonus is dead wrong to minimise the issue of high-quality nutrients in meats, plus, even though grassfed meats are more expensive, I've found that I do better, healthwise with smaller amounts of high-quality grassfed meats, than lots of grainfed meats - as longas I don't overeat, then I can usually reduce my food-budget considerably.
