This is the response I would have expected to my first comment, not a chatGPT response bloated with wordy (most likely biased & potentially non factual) “science”. However, grains are not inherently “good” or “bad”. They are naturally occurring in this world and many of our ancestors have sustained themselves on them. I understand being cognizant of what our food eats, but how privileged it is to even have this preference.

No question. I am glad that this option exists and grateful that I can make this choice and will until I can! This is all I eat and it is medicine for me. The chatgpt response provides some factual info that I did not want to or have time energy and desire to take the time to write out. But I did want to respond so now you have both.
When you have been healing for decades and continue to have deep sensitivity to anything aggravating and challenging your system like I have you begin to pay attention to the smallest distinctions and yes what your food eats. Only I know my own healing journey and my body and I get to live in it. I don't have to justify why I have formed my own belief systems and or go down a certain rabbit hole. Do what works for you. I am doing what works for me and apparently others find it real for them as well. I prefer grass fed grass finished cows.
A friend pointed to me a couple years ago when driving through Sonoma - that the farms with cows we pass we can identify whether they are grains or grass fed by the smell. The cows that had no gas were in their natural diet. The cow farms we passed by that had a very farty stinky stinge were grain fed.
I noticed this with my A2/A2 all grass fed farmer up north as well. Not very stinky.
Appreciate your perspective and responses, truly. It’s sobering to have discourse like this on any form of social media these days without it coming down to ad hominem or a simple “I’m right, you’re wrong” 🙂
