Chicken manure, scraps from restaurant plates, melted animal fat, bovine blood

products -- it's what's for dinner.

All are approved ingredients for cattle feed.

Antibiotics and hormones also are standard fare on the feedlots that dominate

this country's $90 billion beef industry.

This diet, a mounting body of evidence suggests, is good for neither cows nor

people, yielding meat high in unhealthy fat. Hence the latest must-have in the

natural foods movement: grass-fed cattle.
