Editorial Review:
Jo Robinson's new book Pasture Perfect explains the far-reaching benefits of choosing meat, eggs, and dairy products from animals raised on pasture. Drawing on five years of research, Robinson explains that products from grass-fed animals are safer and more nutritious than conventional ones. What's more, the animals live low-stress, more natural lives. Chickens are free to graze on greens, scratch for insects, enjoy sun baths, and roost in comfort. Cattle, bison, dairy cows and lambs are truly contented as they graze on green pasture, breathe fresh air, and stay on the farm from birth until market.
Robinson is the first to gather all the scientific evidence proving that pastured products are safer and more nutritious. As readers will learn, meat from grass-fed animals is free of hormones, antibiotics and mad cow disease. It is also higher in Vitamin E, beta-carotene, omega-3 fatty acids, and the newly discovered cancer-fighting fat called "CLA." Eggs and dairy products from pastured poultry and dairy cows have similar benefits.
Pasture Perfect does more than explain the benefits of pastured products—it also helps you locate, store, and cook them. You will appreciate the 60 pages of recipes that are designed to bring out the tenderness and flavor of this highly nutritious, environmentally friendly food.
Accurate and carefully referenced, Pasture Perfect is the definitive book on this greenest of industries.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The system wasn't broke, but we "fixed" it anyway
An interesting read about the health benefits that come from good ol' fashioned grass farming and its animal products. This book shows how little control we actually have over our own food. On the other hand, it presents a convincing argument for consumers to get back in touch with local farmers and for farmers to rethink what makes good economic sense.
Rating:  - Good info!
The book supplies great comparisons of how grain fed products are obviously superior! However, I do not feel it will change farmer's minds about the crops they raise and how they raise and finish their cattle. It all comes down to money. I didn't really explain how they can turn a profit...
Rating: - Seamless Transaction
Text arrived quicker than expected in perfect condition -- transaction was effortless, seamless and completed as if "immediately." Thank you!
Rating: - Super market meat??????
Jo Robinson has done the research and it is enlightening. We have come so far from the days of the family farm and we haven't a clue. I am not a vegetarian but you can bet I won't be eating supermarket meat any longer, especially chicken (including eggs). Read the book to find out why (with scientific studies) organics, even more importantly pasture raised meat products are healthier for us. It is a quick and easy read because it does not take long to uncover the truth.
