Via the excellent food blog Saute Wednesday, a great article from the L.A. Times - The High Price of Cheap Food (registration required). It's a great argument on why organic meats make sense. Something I've felt for a while. But even though I believe in it, it's just hard to pay more sometimes. Lately I've been thinking that it's best not to eat too much. I mean, you can eat some tasty Indian Daal (basically lentils with spices) for next to nothing. It's so cheap. And no animal has to suffer for it, and it's very healthy. Almost no fat, and high in protein. Eating things like that makes sense. I'm no vegetarian, and I wouldn't want to be, but I'm starting to think it makes sense to eat meat only a few times a week.

I also don't keep meat in the fridge because of its nasty tendency to be a bacteria factory. If I cook meat, it's either straight from the butcher paper, or defrosted immediately prior to cooking.
