Switch to Grass-Fed Beef

Grass-fed beef is much better for the environment than grain-fed beef. Typical beef emits more greenhouse gases than grass-fed beef, which is something that can greatly contribute to global warming. It's also better for the cows themselves, since grass-fed cows typically get to reside in more spacious areas with grass than grain-fed cows that have to reside in CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) and eat corn- and soy-based diets. 

The amount of calories in grass-fed beef is lower than grain-fed beef. There are less fatty acids present in grass-fed beef, meaning that the fat composition of grass-fed cows is much lower than grain-fed cows. Not only is less fat more beneficial for your diet, but reduced fat also lowers your risk of heart disease. Additionally, grass-fed beef contains more vitamins and protein than grain-fed beef does, since grass-fed cows are healthier than grain-fed cows. Overall, grass-fed beef is better nutritionally for you since it's hormone- and antibiotic-free.
