It may be large number of small differences, rather than one huge difference in one variable. I just ran across something that may explain the apparent lack of difference. I had been comparing the beef ounce for ounce. What I found was a piece that mentioned in passing that they don't compare it that way but rather fat gram for fat gram. Since grass-fed beef has dramatically less fat, I would have had to compare something like two ounces of grass-fed vs one ounce of grain-fed. I don't know about you but that trick seems deceptive to me. After all, people would substitute grass-fed for grain-fed ounce for ounce of meat, not gram for gram of fat. In effect, what they're saying when they claim greater omega 3, for example, is that grass-fed has less fat. Their claims make it sound like they're independent factors but they aren't. To be completely honest what they should says is that, because grass-fed has less saturated fat, it also provides better nutrition PER CALORIE.
