Positive Changes

Trader Joes now carries 100% grassfed ground beef! Marlene's Market and Deli in Federal Way also carries grass fed meat. It is definitely more expensive than if you get it from your local farmer, but it is much more convenient. I've also been wanting to try this place out: Thundering Hooves. They have lots of different options for grassfed meat and you can order it in smaller quantities. You can even have it shipped directly to your house, but I recommend using the drop stations. They are based out of Walla Walla but have drop stations all over the west side.
On the note of better quality meat, if you haven't seen Food Inc yet, I highly recommend watching it. It will definitely make you think twice about where you buy your food. Has anyone seen this yet? If so, what are your thoughts?
