@thelianawernergray: Most people check the protein. Almost nobody checks the label. Meat sticks are one of the easiest grab-and-go snacks out there. But not all of them are made the same. Here's what I look for before one goes in my bag 👇 🚩 1) It just says "beef." Grass-fed tells you how the cow started. Grass-finished tells you how it ended. Research has linked grass-fed beef to more omega-3s and CLA than grain-fed beef (Daley et al., Nutrition Journal, 2010). 🚩 2) Sodium nitrite on the label. This is the one most people miss. Look for no added synthetic nitrates or nitrites. Clean brands use sea salt and celery powder instead. 🚩 3) "Natural flavors" + hidden sugars. "Natural flavors" can mean a lot of things. Watch for MSG, dextrose and added sugar. Real spices and sea salt don't need a vague label. ✅ The green flag: @Nick’s Sticks. Grass-fed and grass-finished beef from a small family farm, sea salt + real spices, no added synthetic nitrates or nitrites, no MSG, no "natural flavors," no added sugar. Comment STICKS and I'll send you the link 🥩 Save this for your next grocery run and send it to the friend who lives on meat sticks 📌 #theearthdiet #foodasmedicine #realfood #meatsticks #grassfedbeef
