Defending Grass-Fed Beef

Mark Schatzker, whose book "Steak: One Man’s Search for the World’s Tastiest Piece of Beef’’ I have been reading and blogging about, takes issue with some of my points, and it seems only fair to grant him the same soapbox.

I have, by the way, made it through his book. It's quite readable, but I suggest he has a bias against grain feeding and feedlots. For some reason, he seems to think their smell is part of the best-taste issue. More on that at another time.

For now, this is Mark's response to my earlier blogs:

Let me begin by thanking Steve for revisiting this topic. The Internet, as we all know, is full of angry types these days, and Steve isn’t one of them. Thanks for taking the high road and inviting me to join a civilized discussion, something that seems to be all too rare these days. People will never agree on everything, but if we can discuss things in a respectful manner, we’re all the better for it.
