[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1811759, member: 32659"] Home grown Beef, Pork, and Chicken is definitely better than store bought if it's done right. The "done right" is the issue though. Some people like grass fed but, I'm not a fan. We like grain fed at our house. The only way to ever get a real feel on what the public wants and is willing to pay extra for is by labling products correctly. I'm affraid with our current markets and rules this will never be truely done on a commercial scale. I read an article this week on Strawberries. The article stated that if you took 5 pounds of commercially grown strawberries and smashed them up, the amount of pesticides in the juice would be enough to spray 5 pounds of growing strawberries. This sounds crazy to me but you never know. The intent of the article was to get folks to only buy organic fruits and vegetables. There's no telling how many people threw out their stuff and switched over after reading that article. The real deal is what percent of the general population really cares though. Is 5,10,50, or 1%. At my age I'm probably doomed from all the chemicals in food or my body would go into shock from the lack of, who knows. 🤣🤣 [/QUOTE]
