Correct me if I’m wrong, but as I understand, it’s the quality of lipids in grain fed meat that causes inflammation.

Grain feeding causes ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids get skewed towards more omega-6, which causes increased synthesis of pro-inflammatory interleukins and other PUFA metabolites.

Recently started eating grass fed meat. Now every time I cook chicken thighs from a grocery store I cannot ignore the overt corn flavor. Its so disturbing I have cut back my chicken consumption significantly.

Yes that makes sense. I'd still rather eat the grain fed meat than the grain itself, but best would be grass fed meat.
