Nothing like grilled free range grass fed lamb, or beef for that matter.
Course a nice cut of grilled venison is also hard to beat.
We include plenty of veggies too - from our garden - don't care for the "factory farm" grown vegetables picked by the illegals who "evacuate" in the fields instead of in the porta-john.

That's just something the factory farms say to scare us into supporting them. Here in Ohio they pushed through this sham "livestock care standards board" to avoid a compromise banning battery cages for chickens, veal crates, or gestation crates for sows. None of these I'd ever consider using anyway. However this board of political cronies now has the power to regulate small farmers out of business.

About 20 percent of the world's population, or 1.4 billion people, could be fed with the grain and soybeans fed to U.S. cattle alone.

I guess it comes out to be about $6.78 a pound for me. Of healthy fresh, no hormone, no corn fed, no antibiotocs, and a big plus for me? Animals are treated well.I drive around these beautiful ranches and the animals are clean (as much as you expect) and are free in clean air- yes they do have "Happy Cows" in California - who would have known. BTW I do originally come from another country where the meat quality is best and health restriction are VERY tight. It is a mediterranean place where once again- we eat beef/pork maybe once or twice a week at most, chicken and fish are popular and dairy products are the staple of protein in our diet + tons of olive oil. about dairy-starnge because no one I know had dairy allergies there-it's been done for thousands of years. Yes the meat does taste better when it's better taken care of- I am sure any rancher would know that. For me the money is worth it- I feel better inside physically, my meals are wayyy better (and ppl always ask what I do different) and emotionally I feel good when I eat. You know some people pay $1.25-1.75or for 1 coca cola=sugar water-or $3.50 for 1 cup of cafe/latte. Yet they freak out if their meat/ milk/eggs are a dollar fifty or two more expensive? go figure

Just because they're not in constant agony (like factory farmed cows) does not mean they're 'happy!'.
I really don't think any species of mammal would be 'happy' being REPEATEDLY sexually violated (RAPED), and REPEATEDLY forced into pregnancy and birth, only to have their babies REPEATEDLY ripped from them.
You might like to feel good about (and attempt to justify) man's theft of their babies' milk; however, it's an outright falsehood to refer to them as 'happy'. Less tortured, yes, but happy, no.

They could be, but they wouldn't. What makes you think that if you freed up this grain it would have any better chance of making it to the hungry around the world than the millions of tons of surplus grain that is sitting around with no apparent use today?

Everybody knows PETA is an extreme group, so people like you keep repeating it hoping to scare people into believing what you say about extreme confinement in factory farms being unavoidable. It's not. The problem with agriculture remains Overproduction, so nobody is going to starve anytime soon. Do you really think PETA could get anything passed in any state banning meat?
