Well, i cook for a family. I probably wouldn't cook meat at all were it up to me. The number one reason is that most affordable meat really sucks. Chicken doesn't taste like chicken anymore. And the same is true of other mass-produced meats. Price is another reason. Then there's health, digestive reasons, and ecological reasons, which for me are further down the list of concerns. Then again, if the Depression gets any worse, i might have to start hunting the turkeys across the road. Turkey soup. (Did anyone consider this as a reason for the increase in gun purchases?)
The kids are pretty flexible, but Papa wants meat at least 5 nights a week. Meme usually buys it from local farmers. I don't agree with the way she does it (buys a lot and freezes it), but they're the elders. Freezing is one way to increase the ecological footprint of your diet.
