Grass-Fed Cows
A New, Healthy Food Trend (WCCO-TV)
Read the transcript or watch the video of WCCO TV's June 23rd
Special Report about the increasing awareness and sales of
grass fed beef in the Twin Cities area. Including brief interviews
with farmer Dan Coughlin, Thousand Hills CEO Todd Churchill
and the Strip Club's chef JD Fratzke, it's a quick but well-rounded
introduction to why the grass fed approach is preferred by
the cattle, the people who buy grass fed beef and the stores
and restaurants that sell it.

From health factors to marbling to flavor to preparation to where
to find it — they
touch on it all in the first 7:20 minutes of this warm-hearted interview between
two long-time journalist friends. Curtis, a nationally-known former Chicago TV
anchor, A&E producer, rancher and conservationist has now donned the hat
of a committed grass fed beef producer (and eloquent advocate) with his Tall
Grass Beef operation, which supplies selected outlets in the Chicago market.
He includes gracious praise for Thousand Hills Cattle Company's beef, though
mentions only that our beef can be found in numerous Twin Cities restaurants.
It can also be found in Twin Cities Food Co-ops, Kowalski's Supermarkets and
Fresh & Natural Stores. And, you can order it direct from us or through SimonDelivers.com.
We think highly of Bill and Tall Grass. They're doing a great job helping build
a healthy food system for us all. And we thank him for his kind words. (The remainder
of their 15 minute interview is made up mostly of reflections on their careers
in tv and radio journalism.)

Cardiovascular Disease Resulting
From Our Diet and Lifestyle At Odds With Our Paleolithic
Genome A fascinating and in-depth comparison
of the diet human beings are designed to eat vs. what we
eat today. Contrary to prevalent beliefs, in our hunter-gatherer
ancestors a diet of lean meats, nuts, fruits and vegetables
afforded them many health advantages that have diminished
where cereal and grain-rich diets have become predominant.
Hunter-gatherers enjoyed greater adult height, lower infant
mortality, longer lifespan and a lower incidence of chronic
diseases such as osteoporosis, rickets, obesity, type 2
diabetes and atherosclerosis. The article includes notes
about an
ideal human diet.
