Title
"Good Beef" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin, in which he criticizes the mishandling of cattle feed in feedlots in the West. AuCoin argues that the switch from grass-fed cattle to corn-fed cattle has led to poorer quality beef. As cattle are not intended to digest grain, corn-fed cattle often have an increased risk of illnesses that require heavy doses of antibiotics, which humans then consume. Further, as AuCoin shares, corn-fed beef has more saturated fats than grass-fed beef. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode likely aired in 2003.
