All about beef

Samuel Herzog* We hesitate when we bite into beef tongue, because at the same moment we sense that our own speech is also made of meat and is therefore mortal.

‘You are what you eat‘ – so the saying goes. Nutrition is held responsible for many health problems. For example, food of animal origin is often charged with contributing to cardiovascular diseases.

But ‘you are what you eat’ also applies to animals. Scientists have long investigated the impact that the feeding of animals has on the micronutrient composition (fats, vitamins and so on) of meat. Studies show that feed consisting mainly of grass, hay and grass silage has a positive influence. The nutritional profile of meat from grass is healthier.
