My wife and I try to keep our meat intake very low, but we do occasionally buy whole free range chickens (yes, they are smaller) and beef that is 100% grass fed (no feed lots just before slaughter) that is noticeably different because it is incredibly lower fat than industrially raised beef. $Expensive$ People get to make their own choices. For myself, I feel better physically if I eat meat about once a week, just a small portion. I would like to be a vegan or vegetarian, but I think I do better with a tiny amount of meat in my diet. When we buy meat, I like to cook it all and immediately freeze some portions for future use, mostly in soups. That really saves shopping and prep time.
