And guess what? work the numbers, and I only pay $4.00/lb for everything from hamburger to Prime Rib and aged Brisket.
Factory farming? A smelly, invasive, noisome and toxic process that produces low-quality meat that tastes like cardboard with no texture worth mentioning. Humans evolved to eat meat. What comes out of a modern factory farm would make a Neandertal retch, cause an iron-age Celt to question our sanity, and if it squeaked through into Nelson's Royal Navy would have killed every weevil and rat in the whole bloody Fleet.

Plus one, Dun.
I suspect that most tfp folks have never been anywhere close to actual beef on the hoof. I grew up with range fed beef and lamb, and a barnyard full of chickens and geese. I agree that factory farming sucks, and that includes factory farmed grain and produce, which is the only large scale alternative.
How nice it would be if some of the people on here would spend some time on a family farm instead of getting their information about meat from the veganazis.
