I wonder if that's the deciding factor? I'd hazard a guess that the quality
of grain fed beef and of grass-fed beef ranges from farm to farm. And I
have a suspicion that quality differences between farms are more
significant than those between feeding practices. In other words, there are
probably good and bad grass-fed meats, just as there are good and bad
grain-fed beef. And a good grain-fed vs. a bad grass-fed will win, and vice
versa - so that there's virtually no way to get an "objective" test, unless
you find a farm that does *both* types.
