I just finished that book, and I still think organic beef slaughtered by the local butcher is fine. I will certainly never eat fast food again, but your point is a reactionary generalization at best.
Besides, the author still likes In 'n Out Burger, or did you miss that at the end ?
Just read the book too. I'd like to know where you can find a butcher who uses organic cows and does all the butchering himself. I thought they were extinct. I haven't see one since I was about 9 years old.
most of the small cattle ranches around here are organic... that is the cows aren't all pumped full of steriods and other such hormoans... and any of our butcher shops here in the eugene area do all of their own cutting, grinding, drying, smoking, raping, and what ever else they do there...
