It’s time we talk about the impact of corn as a major food source. I believe it’s unhealthy—not just for the animals that eat it, but for the people who consume the food produced from those animals.
Corn feeding has become the backbone of industrial farming, but the ripple effects on health are undeniable. Animals aren’t designed to thrive on corn-heavy diets, and the resulting food we eat lacks the nutrients and healthy fat profiles our bodies need. The consequences? A system contributing to heart disease and other preventable health issues.
That’s why I’m passionate about moving away from grain-based feeding systems and instead focusing on forage-based farming. At MyPrairieGrassSystems, we’re using native prairie grass to create a sustainable, healthier alternative.
Here’s what makes it revolutionary:
Healthier animals: Raised on their natural diet of diverse forage.
Healthier food: The beef produced has a fat profile similar to salmon, packed with healthy omega-3s instead of the harmful fats linked to chronic diseases.
Sustainability: Native prairie grass is better for the environment, promoting soil health and biodiversity while producing more food per acre than traditional grain crops.
It’s a win for the environment, for animal welfare, and most importantly, for our health.
The future of food doesn’t have to look like the past. Let’s rethink how we feed both animals and people to create a healthier, more sustainable world.
