See this is what I mean about equilibrium. Why is it that vitamins and minerals or nutrients MUST be EXTRACTED? Why is it that we think that industrial processes and or chemical extraction that removes all the other nutrients that are naturally found in food are superior... to eating the food in it's natural form?

Isn't that what our bodies evolved to do?

I take flax seed, grind it (because the seeds are hard) and mix a little in with my oatmeal. With a little stevia it's fine tasting, reasonably low cal/low carb, lowers cholesterol, is pretty cheap and super simple to prepare.


I don't know the answer to that, but my guess would be that the the seeds need to be ground for the flax seed oil to be digested by animals. When ground, they go rancid rapidly. So some other method is necessary.

Alternatively, the cattle can graze and eat everything fresh. Transition from feedlot to grass fed is not going to happen overnight. If they can find a method to keep animals in the feedlot healthier this way, it may be a good idea.
