The Beef You Love is Good for You Too

Calorie-for-calorie, beef is one of the most naturally nutrient-rich foods.  Consumers don’t have to sacrifice great taste for nutrition when it comes to lean beef.  In fact, more than sixty percent of all whole muscle cuts sold at retail and 10 of the top 12 most popular whole muscle cuts meet government guidelines for lean. Beef is easy to love because it tastes so great, but it’s also a naturally nutrient-rich source of ten essential nutrients. The protein in beef helps strengthen and sustain your body. Evidence shows that protein plays an important role in maintaining healthy weight, building muscle and fueling physical activity.  The Healthy Beef Cookbook makes it easy for people to follow the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid – and “get more nutrition from their calories.” It’s an excellent time to communicate to the media that the beef you love is good for you too!
