I live in freakin’ oklahoma where there are nothing BUT farms. Why won’t they sell me their meat? Instead, we end up paying a fortune for it at another market. I REFUSE to eat meat from local chains. EWWW!

What religion are you? I know you’ve blogged about it but I can’t remember.

Looks like a fabulous meal.

It tastes BETTER!
We only eat meat that has been ethically raised by my parents. I can’t eat store bought meat!
And there’s a HUGE difference in ethically grown pork and store bought. HUGE!

And I think the woman probably had a complex because people probably do complain about meat not tasting “normal” when it is not pumped with nitrates and not processed to the point of being 15 degrees removed from nature. That, along with the practices used by companies like Smithfield, who treat their employees about as well as they treat their animals, probably add a special kick to the flavor.

There is a farm near our home that was profiled in Food, Inc for its humane raising of animals (Polyface Farms). I would love to bring some coolers out there and stock up. While we buy organic, we are still far from where I want us to be on the ethical eating front. Thanks for the inspiration.
