Inna Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hello, new here, and if I am posting in the wrong place, I am very sorry! I did a search on the forum, but cannot find the answer to my question, so would really appreciate the response. What are the rules if any regarding mince (ground beef in US, I believe?)? I.e. would any lean/reduced mince do the job, or does it have to be a specific grass fed, organic, hand reared beef in an alpine environment with just a touch of rain etc? Thank you!

jmcbn Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi Inna Organic grassfed is preferable, but if that is not a viable option to you due to either availability or finances just do the best with what you've got... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeve Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 A lot of the eeek about beef is based on what US concentrated animal feeding operations feed and inject into cows. We have the result of grain soaked in carcinogenic glyphosate and injections that kill our gut microflora in our standard offer beef. You may not need to go to the extent of Alpine sourcing, but here grass fed beef is something those that can afford it and desire it more than cake seek out.

Dont think anything like that happens in the UK, although I might be naiive... They were passing off horse as beef at some point, so who knows what they are capable of, I will strive to buy organic where I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inna Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 I know the area well - I traveled over almost every third week for three years! Its a good area, but I do not drive, so getting to butchers, farmers shops and markets is a bit of a challenge, public transport inadequacy in the region surpasses remote parts of Asia!

Kimberly22 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I try to buy organic with beef and things like that could have "added" stuff in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
