More GOOD FAT:

Although grass fed beef has lower fat content than grain fed beef overall, it actually contains much higher levels of omega-3-fatty acids.
Saturated fatty acids (sat-fats) can lead to elevated "bad" LDL cholesterol levels that can lead to a number of health issues like heart disease adn atherosclerosis.
Omega-3 fatty acids (unsat-fats), on the other hand, not only provide the same nutritional value and metabolic energy yield as saturated fats, but WITHOUT the health risks!
In other words, grass fed beef is a healthier option without sacrificing flavor!
