If you don't want a whole 25lb at $5.85 a lb, maybe we should split one? Being more nutritious, your body feels more satisfied with less, so it is cheaper than that awful factory-farmed meat from the stores.<br /><br />For other grass fed beef locations: http://www.eatwild.com/products/index.html<br /><br />I make my own nut butters in my Omega auger juicer, it is really yummy. Today, I made cashew butter. At least I know what is in it!<br />Happy Tails, and Trails, Penny.LakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-1152379169136292862012-05-24T22:27:50.787-05:002012-05-24T22:27:50.787-05:00watch Food Inc even if you rent the CD ...watch Food Inc even if you rent the CD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXmF_erEv1oAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772195580511867949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-13802798208697271982012-05-24T18:36:05.995-05:002012-05-24T18:36:05.995-05:00Sixbears, we don't eat peanut products but do ...Sixbears, we don't eat peanut products but do love almond butter.

When I do I don't buy unless they smell like tomatoes. Beauty of form does not count. I'm growing 5 different heirloom tomatoes this year and they ain't pretty but each taste like a tomato and each plant taste different from the rest. <br />Taste buds age but not to the extent that Big Ag and Monsanto would have you believe.Oldfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688289425207257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-90122366885014175932012-05-24T11:03:31.090-05:002012-05-24T11:03:31.090-05:00We have a farmer's market on the square during...We have a farmer's market on the square during the growing season.

Has no taste anymore and no chiles to speak of. <br /><br />I like Gypsy's comment about organic foods.. But I ain't paying the inflated price just cause it says " organic" on it..

Make hamburgers and try them side by side. The difference in taste is astounding. I think you hit the nail on the head as far as the producers toning down the taste of everything. I realized how bland our food is when I moved back to the U.S. from Ireland, but the organic products are still pretty tasteful. Beer sold in the U.S. is another great example of our selection being tasteless and watered down compared to what you get in any other country.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
