yes I meant that literally, and not facetously. I buy my organic, eco conscious farmed raised meat in downtown Toronto. It is quite pricey. Anywhere from double to triple the cost of the same cut in a grocery store.
Organic veges same thing. |
i wasn't coming down on you for the remark, i thought it was quite brilliant , actually!
but the mistake you are making is buying from a store in downtown toronto. we buy all organic veggies and farmed meats from the St.Lawrence market and we pay no more than we would for conventional meats and veggies in the stores. of course specialty stores are going to mark up the price on high quality items that are in high demand. we actually probably spend less now on feed and eat far better than we ever have in our lives! you just need to know where to go...again, takes a little mpore planning, but to me, it is worth it. not only for the better well being of the animals, but for my health as well
