All the meat, except for pork, which is factory farmed, ugh, we get here is grass fed, and I haven't noticed a difference, other than the leanness of the beef.  It is nice to be able to buy it straight from the grocery store, but I imagine that our prices are probably higher than the US.  I pay about 5 or 6 dollars a pound for hamburger and steak is pretty much out of the question except for special occasions.  But we use meat very sparingly in our diet so it isn't much of a hardship. 

I think a lot of the intestinal difficulties that people have from cruciferous vegetables can be overcome if you just keep eating them regularly.  It is a question of building up enough bacterial flora in the gut to cope with it.  I eat cabbage pretty much every day at this time of year without any problems whatsoever.  Suze

We haven't eaten the meat yet.  I have the ground beef thawing right now and I'm going to make meat loaf with it tonight.    I'll let you know how we like it.

I really think these internet forums are great.  We get so much more feedback/support/ideas/brainstorming than if we were just going it alone at home!
