This is really helpful! I love ordering steaks in restaurants or letting other people make it for me, but I am always hesitant to buy/prepare it myself! Maybe there could be a part 2 on meat cooking techniques?? I’m so clueless in this area!

Being a whitetail deer hunter, I eat alot of venison. Think about it, a deer eats grass and grains from farmers crops and look at how much leaner and better for you venison is than most of the beef out there. I also process my own venison, so I know exactly what is going on my plate.

Thanks for the hints!! I do enjoy when I can find “Choice” meat at the store…it’s few and far between, but SO good and worth the price.

Would you mind linking to my foodie charm giveaway? I don’t normally ask…but I think readers would love it! http://tr.im/mFE4

But what about grass fed, hormone free, etc…? Not only is it better for you, it would do sooo much good for the environment (much more than can be done, for example, by not driving SUV’s anymore).

I’m a vegetarian, but still pay attention to issues surrounding organic/grassfed beef, free range chickens that aren’t fed antibiotics. Have you come across this in your reading and do you have any thoughts on that? From what I understand, grass fed beef is better for you and is richer in the vitamins and minerals beef is supposed to have, supposedly tastier too!
