My dear friend red meat is clearly omitted from my meal plan. I am still on the grass fed beef band wagon, and I plan to take a trip to a local farm to pick up some meat eventually. I'd like to get a freezer for my garage so that I can buy it in bulk to save some money. I haven't worked out those details yet, so for now, I'm skipping out on the red meat. I just can't do it. I don't know if I'll never have corn fed beef again - I may have it if I'm at a restaurant or if someone is having me over for dinner (I won't be rude), and I don't think that 2-3 times/year is going to have an impact on me, but I don't plan on buying it myself. I used to eat red meat 2-3 times per week, so that would have had an impact.

As for the rest of the organic dilemma, I'm working on figuring out where I stand on all of this. You know I'll keep you posted.
