It's true. Meat (and milk) can be flavoured, either for better or worse,
by an animal's diet.

I once drank milk in Newfoundland from cattle that ate seaweed at low
tide along with regular pasturage and it tasted weird.

I have a friend who grows turnips (swedes or rutabagas actually but he
calls them turnips) in a big way (several acres worth) and he feeds the
culls to his pigs when they are young. But he always finishes his pork
on better tasting food the last few weeks. Otherwise the pork tastes
"turnipy".

And the Romans used to raise snails in herb gardens 'cause they tasted
better that way.
