Sad day in the Awesome household. Our local "butcher" now only gets their beef from a chop house. They had everything a health conscious, food connoisseur, taste driven, heavy eating family loved and enjoyed - and now, who knows where the beef is coming from, and most importantly, what is in it besides beef.
They used to sell organic beef. Well, they still do, but only by the 1/4, 1/2, or whole cow - which honestly we are now considering. They used to butcher most of their own cows, and those that were not from their farm they got from local farms. Now they're having beef shipped in from accross the country.
Maybe it's time we finally purchase that extra large, energy sucking, can fit a frozen fat dude, deep freezer so we can have our home grown organic beef. Maybe we will have to frequent our hour long trips to Whole Foods. Maybe we'll become grass loving vegetarians. Whatever the future holds for our carnivoric eating habits (oh my God Delmonicos.....[whipes drool off of face]) - it just became a little more difficult to avoid growth hormone injected, ozone destroying, chemically pumped beef which are housed in the most inhumane living conditions. A salad sounds really good right now.
Ok Schnur's, you're now on my shit list - also, i'll be calling about purchasing a 1/4 cow very soon.
