Saving the world?

Dale and I will be trying some free-range, grass-fed, hormone & antibiotic free chicken this week. I'm hoping it tastes good. Because we bought it at the farmer's market, it was just a wee bit more expensive than Harris Teeter regular chicken. It was cheaper than the organic Harris Teeter chicken. I've been off chicken lately, so I hope this stuff tastes good. It's not really saving the world, but it is eating more healthily. And, you know, the chickens did get to wander about a pasture for their lives instead of being all cooped up on shelves.

All farm animals deserve the chance to do what they do—chickens scratch around for bugs, hogs rolling in the mud, cows chewing their cuds—before their ultimate destination.

And remember that farm animals would probably be on the endangered species list if we didn't use them for food.

So let them really live until it's time for them to go.
