Grass fed beef is noticeably drier (doesn't cook down as much) and stronger-flavored than corn fed beef. I really notice the difference in chicken - try a fancy organic chicken breast and compare it to a normal store bought one and it's like night and day.
Would it be possible to describe the difference in taste?

Isn't freshness also about taste, not texture? (I could never tell when something is "really fresh", when other people could.)
