Compassionate Eating: My life as a locavore

Posted on Oct 29th, 2008 by Phaedrus : Jedi Phaedrus
Farmers' Market Stir Fry!

As I mentioned in my review of The Compassionate Carnivore, I enjoy a good steak.  Now that’s not to say that every meal I eat has to contain some sort of meat product, and in fact, about a year ago I moved to cut back on the amount of meat my family and I eat to one meat meal a day (with smaller portions of meat) with two or three total vegetarian days each week. Last April, I made the decision to get our beef and chicken exclusively from a small, local farms (i.e., the farmers’ market) instead of King Soopers or Costco (or even Whole Foods), deciding that I was no longer going to opt-in to supporting the factory farm model of meat production.

This is kind of a long article... the rest can be found here.
