Why and why not?
Where from? How many times a week do you eat it? |

Chicken yes, always. Beef occasionally.
Whole Foods or our CSA. |

| Complete waste of money unless you have visited the farm and the slaughterhouse to see their practices for yourself. The organic label doesn't mean very much and it's rarely enforced. |

| Sort of. All our meat comes from a local farm. It is t certified organic but uses organic and humane practices. Customers can visit the farm to see for themselves. I do it for animal welfare reasons, mostly, but there is some evidence that pastured animals have a different fat profile than feedlot meat. |

Yes. Anything that comes from an animal, we buy organic. Hormone free, free-range, organic, etc. We also aim to buy local, (within 150 miles of where we live).
Probably 3 times a week? Maybe chicken twice a week, salmon once a week? |

venison, beef, chicken, fish all farm raised why ? because they are well fed without any antibiotics we also buy produce grown locally from a farm that doesn't use insecticides |

+1. Organic doesn't mean all that much. Try to buy local and sustainably grown. |

Organic farms still use insecticides..only ones from certain categories deemed safer by some. |

| No, because I can't afford it |

The size of Costco rotisserie chickens always strikes me as very unnatural and probably not healthy to consume but, boy, it tastes so good

| It's too expensive, but I do buy the "free from unnatural crap" version that's in the organic section, from Giant. And I'm only doing that because I'm pregnant. Once this baby comes out we're back on budget. |

| Yes, of course. No antibiotics and no hormones for all meat and dairy. |
