Then, regardless of what can be usually associated with
crop production, when I refer to the vegetables I eat, I
am referring to vegetables that don't carry a collateral
death antecedent. You can't have it both ways, Harrison.

Under the current climate grass fed beef can be and is
fed grains like any other steer in the feedlot. When the
proposed definition from U.S.D.A. is fully implemented
so-called grass fed beef can be fed 85% grain for 60
days and still qualify as grass fed beef.
