There are many myths circulating in the nutrition field. As a result most of the people who are trying to improve their health and well-being have been indoctrinated by one or more myths. If we used the feel-good myths as sales pitches, we could sell more meat. Instead, we tell it like it is based on proven science and let the chips fall where they may.
 
We have always been science buffs and have spent decades consulting with professionals and reading their leading edge research. This is why we are so focused on food chemistry because that is biggest cause of chronic diseases.

  • Are the products organic? They are Beyond Organic. We say that because organic never indicates a food product is safer or more nutritious. For more about the actual science about Beyond Organic go to the Organic link in the left-hand panel.
  • What do you mean by Omega-3 meats? Our Slanker Select Omega-3 meats have Omega-6 to Omega-3 essential fatty acid (EFA) ratios of 2:1 or less. That actually means something in nutrition. All of our competitors that sell poultry and pork gloss over this most important fact with nice sounding labels that only give people the impression of a healthier meat. Often their meats have the same EFA ratios as the meats offered by Walmart.
  • Will SGFM grass-fed meats taste like regular meats from the grocery store? Only sometimes. Fat profiles have a big impact on flavors. Check out the Flavor link in the left-hand column.
  • Do you ship frozen meat in the summer? Yes, we've been doing it since 2001 even to the desert southwest. See Shipping Information.
