No More Factory Farmed Meat!

Family and Friends:

After watching Food, Inc. I started buying only organic milk and eggs, even though they're much more expensive. I tried to buy only non-factory farmed meat but wasn't strict about it. I basically did it when it was convenient.

This awesome video from Australia just inspired me to take the pledge not to eat ANY factory farmed meat. It's not gory or anything--just singing pigs. :)

This means asking restaurants where they get their meat from, which is always awkward and an inconvenience. Also really limits where I can eat—I'm assuming some of my favorite spots use factory farmed meat: Il Capricio, Jitlada, Home Restaurant, etc. Also means I can't buy 99% of the meat that Albertson's sells, which sucks because it's literally a block a way from our apartment. I'm going to be a stickler about it, so get ready. I may make an exception for meat served at friend's houses… we'll see.

I'm sharing this with you all because I want to be accountable and not fall off the wagon. Please help me live with principle! Anyway, check it out.
