Price Comparison.

Standard lean ground beef in safeway: equivalent to $3.40 per pound.

'Gently raised' organic ground beef at the Trout Lake Farmers' Market: either $3 or $4 a pound, I can't remember which.

Is that a no-brainer or what?

I dunno if I've told you this before, but I am still amazed that the organic beef people have never used the mad cow thing to their advantage...

There's still debate over transmission. There's the environment/pesticide people, and the eating-other-animals people, and I'm sure there are more.

OIC.

Hm.

Still, couldn't they say stuff like "Mad cow has never been found in organically raised cattle"? Assuming of course that that is true...

Yeah

we try and not use anything but wild meat or organic for a whole host of resons. But most people sadly go for convenience over common sense.

Where do you buy?

I was planning on stocking up a bit next week. :)

I try to use a local (well, local to Poco) butcher called Meridian Meats who stock the better, 'gentler', less polluted with toxins form of meat.

Me too. Race ya to the stall?

You are on! If we bowl over more than three people in the rush, there will be a 2 second penalty. :)
