That was very interesting. I wonder if other animal products are more nutritious if the animals are content.

I'm guessing the study was funded by the Carnation Company (slogan since 1907: from contented cows):

But contented cows aren't just for breakfast cereal any more:

Quote:
The interior of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley is made from the finest materials available such as Wilton wool carpets bound in leather for the cabin and boot. The interior trim is made from contented cows and nice sheep's wool.

It makes sense.If a dairy animal is stressed it gives less milk or won't let its milk down.If they have good graze the cows are happier and the milk would be higher in nutrioninal than a cow feeding on substandard pasturage.Id be willing to bet a free range chicken is more nutritious than a commercially raised one,same for the eggs.Free range tastes better and the eggs hive bright orange yolks compared to the pale yellow store bought ones.

All cows should be given a hashish brownie daily. Man, I'll bet the nutritional value of milk would soar through the f*****g roof!

I thought Wilcox Farms milk tasted worlds better than that cardboard-ey stuff they sell in the supermarket. I wonder if their cows were contented as well. :chin:
