Reply #153: I don't like how commercial meat, animals raised for the masses are treated.

[MrsBrady]

Beyond writing my representatives and buying organic where I can, there is not much I could do.
I could not eat it. But I am going to eat meat.

We buy organic and local when we can, but it's not always viable or affordable.
But we do when we can to support it with our $$.
I eat much less meat than my husband, but I'm gonna eat it.

My in-laws raise their own beef for their own use. Just a few head a year.
And they are good at it. Grass fed, mostly.
The Mennonite butcher they use say it's some of the best he's ever seen. And he services a wide rural area.

That stuff is so rich, you only need about half of what you would use when cooking commercial beef.
And the flavor is so good, you really don't need anything but a little salt. Not kidding.
It's falling off the bone before I even cook it. And it's not marbled very much. Fat in one place, meat in another. So good.

That's what beef is supposed to be like. It's very filling. Rich. It actually has favor. Don't need to add anything.

The animals are treated well. They are not abused. And yes, we appreciate their sacrifice.
