I would imagine you are buying that grass fed beef at a whole foods
type establishment? Where I live, there are many small farms in the
area that I can buy the grass fed organic beef directly from the farmers,
no middlemen involved. I pay about 4.50 to 5.00 dollars a pound.
Red meat is a treat & a condiment for me. A once a month happening.
I cannot understand people that insist on eating red meat every or every other day. It's unhealthy for the individual, and our environment.
As others have stated, the UN is attempting to raise awareness.
Once people are aware of the problem, and continue to hold on to their
"gimme my steak, dammit" proclamations, I become frustrated and angry
by their selfish & short-sighted attitudes.
