   I think the humane meat ratings system is an amazing idea … I have noticed that the grocers in my area are now just labeling meat organic, when I doubt the validity. I have no way to verify it though. Maybe a website? Perhaps started by – ummm – Whole Foods. Customers could review meat quality. It could be a start.

   Thanks for this blog. It’s fabulous!

   I’m not sure “humane” and “meat” can actually be used together, since the animals wind up on a plate, but I suppose it’s a tiny step away from the most tortuous practices in use by the worst meat processors.

   I just had to comment since “Humane Meat” is a complete oxymoron.

   Great interview! They’re talking about the pricing at Whole Foods, among other things, and I have to say that we’ve found the pricing to be very fair there. I don’t have a Whole Foods in my neighborhood–our closest is over 200 miles away. But every summer we drive over there and we load up. Although I love my local health food store, it’s pricey. And the local grocer may be carrying more organic these days, but cheap? Anything but! I don’t expect organic prices to be as low as non-organic, but I see Whole Foods getting darned close in many cases. Now if we could just get one closer to home…
