My aim, especially once I am finally made redundant in Feb (after waiting nearly two years) is to use less meat but more ethically farmed meat.
We have a very good farm shop near us that does the most fantastic beef (run round the fields & then hung for 28 days beef). They also import chicken & pork/pig from another local(ish) farm who supplies every two weeks, first week fresh second week frozen, the chicken is free range. But what does that mean - run around the field or a factory wiith the window open? How do you find out?
It would be very convenient if I could get all my meat from one place, but I do have to persuade dh that it is worthwhile giving meat up for half the week for a better tasting and more ethical choice.
This is also from the woman, when in the farm shop this morning says to her 2.5yr dd, yes we feed the cows, then we eat the cows. I do not have a problem eating meat, but I grew up with the concept of 'growing it' just like any other crop.
