Even with sharing, it results in more meat than I can store! But I continue to hope...

Fortunately, a couple of our local farmers who used to do the Saturday
morning thing in Maryville, set up a year round market. I can get free
range and hormone free beef, chicken, pork and lamb. It's a little more 
expensive but the meat can sit in the refrigerator for several days
without any deterioration. Two of the local bakeries also have specialty 
breads twice a week. One makes whole wheat with olives that is
delicious.
Can you get together with a couple of friends and share the cow? We used to do that.

I am so fortunate to live in a farming community where locally grown
food has really taken off. I buy vegetables and eggs from two farmers
I know personally. Meat is more of an issue, as I do not have space,
nor do the two of us have the appetite to purchase even half of an
animal.

There was a very small window between the reforms spurred by Upton
Sinclair and the politicized agencies that we have today.

The only hope I see is the move back to slow food/whole/food/grow-
your-own-or-buy-local-organic movement. With enough people pushing
for better food, we may get it by force of economic reality.

Oooh... Yum. But I'm old enough to remember when USDA was on our
side, pre-Ezra Taft Benson.

Have you read about the processed beef that is being used in
hamburgers? It seems to mostly be floor scrapings treated with
ammonia http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/31/us/31meat.html
