October 13, 2009 It's Long. And Gross.

Yes, it's more expensive to buy meat from people who care about things like natural and humane processes. It's a lot more expensive. Ground beef from our Amish farmer is $4.50 a pound, and chicken breasts are $8.50 a pound. So we eat less of them. We eat more eggs and more produce, much of it local. Not such a bad deal.
