Dear John,
Democracy is similar to the four seasons,
every 4 years on the first Tuesday in
November we get to express our opinion at the
ballot box. I don't know about you, but I am
personally glad to see an end to the pounding
of political ads we have all endured during
2008. I just hope common sense above and
beyond the
call of duty will prevail in a non-partisan
manner for the next 12 months to right our
listing ship.
This note is penned as a biting November wind
howls across the midwest carrying hints of
the record snowfalls in the upper Great
Plains. However, the grazing animals always
seem to enjoy the transition from summer to
winter as their hair coats take on a pristine
shine of new growth for the colder days
ahead. This is especially evident this fall
due to the outstanding pasture for this time
of year. Omega 3 and CLA levels will be
better than normal do to the premium pasture
salad available for the entire growing season
of 2008.
The recipe section features the teres
major or often referred to as the
shoulder tender.
For many of you, this is an unknown
steak selection. However, for savvy white
table cloth chefs, it is a culinary secret.
Simply stated, top chefs will marinate and
convince 95% of their customers it is
tenderloin
filet. The secret is the teres
major muscle is the 2nd most tender muscle in
the beef animal. The teres
major is used in
a support role versus the muscles used for
walking that get used on each step the animal
takes.
Slicing the long cylinder shaped muscle into
petite tender medallions will resemble
tenderloin
filet
mignon to the untrained consumer.
Plus, the flavor will rival tenderloin filet
if the chef is on his game.
The good news is, you will save 55% on a per
pound basis with the teres major over the
tenderloin filet with current store pricing.
I can assure the flavor profile difference
is far less than the price difference.
We suggest you purchase a teres
major package this week and
experience one of the best kept secrets in
the beef market place.
A special thank you is in order for Sally
Fallon and her management team for the
Weston
A Price annual convention occurring in San
Francisco this weekend.
Megan and McKenzie are working their tail
feathers off at the U.S. Wellness booth and
report a record frenzy for organ
sausages and
beef
sticks.
It is always a delight to attend WAP
events
as all participants understand what we do as
well as any group in America today. Believe
it or not, Sally Fallon hosted the first
gathering less than 10 years ago in a church
basement near Washington D.C. with 20
attendees. That humble beginning has
swelled to ~ 1400 this weekend in San
Francisco from all over the world.
U.S. Wellness will always be grateful for the
doors you opened for our fledgling company.
Warmest regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, McKenzie and Tressa

EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi Dr. Serrano:
My three year old has eczema. The doctor put
her on creams that only made the situation
worse. I was told that fish
oil would help. I put it in her juice,
but she didn't like the taste. Then someone
suggested flax oil. I have been using that
with good results. Recently I read an
article stating that flax oil causes cancer.
Is this true?
Sincerely,
Shirley
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear Shirley :
I have two questions.
Was your baby
breast fed?
Did you take fish oils
during your pregnancy?
The fish oils might help if she has an
omega 3 deficiency, but what if she has a GLA
deficiency or a monounsaturated
polyunsaturated imbalance?
Flax seed doesn't cause cancer, but any
polyunsaturated fat might increase the
chances if it comes from canola or corn oil.
If you are getting good results with the flax
oil then continue it, but I would also stop
dairy for a while and add GLA to make sure it
is completely gone, or call Mark Harmon at
(419) 230-9853 and ask him for alpha omega -3,
but the pills might be to big for her.
You might have to open them and put the
contents in
apple sauce
Good luck,
Dr. Eric Serrano
