Oletteko koskaan kuulleet lihan sisäisestä laadusta tai maidon? 
Heinälihaa, kiitos!

Maailman arvokkainta kobe-lihaa tuotetaan pelkästään heinällä ja väkirehulla, ei koskaan tuoreella nurmella:

As well as dried pasture forage and grasses such as rice straw, they are fed a diet of nutrition-rich feed supplements made by blending together soybean, corn, barley, wheat bran, and various other ingredients. They are given no pasture grass at all to eat. Water, too, is very important besides feed. This is the reason why there are many cattle-rearing farms in areas with good, clean water.
Toiset eivät anna ollenkaan heinää, vain riisin olkea ja väkirehua:

A few kilometers up the road is the farm of another prize-winning farmer, Katsunori Ohta. He and his brother Tetsuya won the Kobe Beef Association’s Distinction Award in 2011 and 2012. They raise cattle, and also serve it in three restaurants and a retail store.
The Ohta farm is a big operation. The brothers have 700 regular Wagyu cattle in addition to the 500 that will become Kobe beef.
“We started around 25 years ago with 100 cows,” he says. “The key to raising top-quality Kobe beef is balance and proportion. Pedigree is important, but it is the feeding that produces champion cattle. Every farmer has his own ‘secret’ recipe, but we feed our cattle a blend of rice straw, soybean, maize, barley, and other cereals.”
Eli nurmea ei tarvita laadultaan parhaan naudanlihan tuotannossa, eikä sitä tarvita mahdollisimman kustannustehokkaassa länsimaisessa naudanlihantuotannossa. Tukioptimoidussa lihan tuotannossa sille ehkä on paikkansa jatkossakin.
